Podoc is a digital card table for playing real card games with real people. There are no computer opponents and no rules to get in your way — Podoc deals the cards, sets the table, and rotates the dealer. You and your friends play by the rules you know (or the house rules you've argued over for years). 10 GAMES, READY TO DEAL Every game comes pre-configured with the right deck, layout, and features: • War — the classic high-card battle • Go Fish — collect sets of four by asking for cards • Crazy Eights — match suit or rank; eights are wild • Hearts — dodge the hearts and the Queen of Spades • Spades — bid, take tricks, and race your partner to 500 • Euchre — fast 4-player, 2-vs-2 trick-taking • Gin Rummy — build melds and knock • Golf — swap cards for the lowest score over 9 holes • May I — contract rummy across 7 escalating rounds • 65 — an 11-round gin-style game from Grandma Bette BUILD YOUR OWN GAME Beyond the presets, create fully custom games: choose the number of decks, add jokers, turn draw and discard piles on or off, enable a shared play area, trick-taking, score sheets, card passing, and teams. Save your presets and deal them anytime. PLAY IN PERSON — FREE Local play connects everyone over Wi-Fi on the same network. No internet, no account, no charge. Pass the devices around the kitchen table. PLAY ONLINE — ANYWHERE Start an online table and share a 6-character code; friends anywhere in the world join in seconds. MADE FOR CARD PLAYERS • Drag-and-drop cards between your hand, layout, the shared arena, and the piles • Round-by-round score sheets • Trick-taking for Spades, Hearts, and Euchre • Card passing for Hearts, Go Fish, and your own variants • Team play with configurable partnerships • Five card-back designs, or upload your own • Save and resume a game when everyone rejoins • Sound effects and event notifications (both optional) HONEST BY DESIGN No ads.
