Your TV is the game table, and every phone is a private hand. Play Table brings game night to the big screen. Everyone in the room sees the table on the TV, and each player's cards stay on their own phone. Nobody huddles around one screen or passes a phone around. HOW IT WORKS Open a table on your TV and everyone joins by scanning the code with their phone. Pick a game andplay. When it's over, pick the next one: everyone stays at the table, with the same avatars and the same score for the night. Works with Chromecast and Google TV, any smart TV with a web browser, AirPlay TVs, and most Roku devices through AirPlay from your iPhone. GAMES INCLUDED (27) Card games: Blackjack, BS, Crazy Eights, Fan Tan, Go Fish, Hearts, President, Scat, Spoons, Texas Hold'em, War Dice games: Farkle, Left-Right-Center, Liar's Dice, Yacht Domino games: Mexican Train Board games: Disc Flip Party games: 2 Truths & a Lie, Bible Trivia, Bingo, Case Closed, Hangman, Party Answers, Pass the Doodle, Punchline, The Line Up, Word Guess KEY FEATURES • Your own photo card decks. Put your family, friends or pets on the cards with the Deck Builder (in-app purchase). • Switch games without re-joining. Same players, same avatars, same room code. • Winning the Night. A running medal table shows who has won the most games this evening. • An announcer on the TV. Rod calls the action for free, and more voices are available in the shop. • Drawn animal avatars, or your own photo. • Themed card decks and boards to dress up the table. • Bots fill empty seats in the games that support them. • Photos stay in the room. They are shared with the table while you play and never stored on our servers. Gather everyone on the couch and deal them in.
