If you can say it, we can deal it
The games no card room offers: the one your grandfather taught you, the one your table made up, the one with the rule everybody argues about.
- 1
Say how you play it
In plain words, the way you'd explain it at the table. Or build it with Claude through the Home Game connector.
- 2
We check every rule
The rules engine writes it down, plays thousands of test hands, and walks you through a sample hand.
- 3
Deal it tonight
Save it, open a private table, and it's in dealer's choice for everyone you invite.
Built for home games, not card rooms
The dealer calls the game, the host runs the table, and the house rules are your house rules.
No. 1
Dealer's choice
The next dealer calls the game, and it stays until someone calls another. Bomb pots for one hand.
No. 2
Declare, done right
Everyone declares at once. Both must win both ways. Buy-a-card rounds and carry-over pots.
No. 3
Private tables
Only people with your invite link get in. You approve every seat and buy-in, and can make a new link any time.
No. 4
A ledger that adds up
Buy-ins, rebuys and who's up, kept for you. No money moves through the site.
