How to play

What this is

A card room for you and your people. The app deals the cards and keeps the score — that is all it does. The coins are points: it holds no money, moves none, and pays out nothing. What a point is worth, if anything, is whatever your table agrees between yourselves, away from here.

Your seat

Every player is a member with a short tag like #8PF6. The tag is what makes a seat mean a person — two Ravis stay two people. Your first 30 days are free; after that a small dated pass keeps the online tables open (pricing).

Two ways to play

On this device — one phone passed round the table. One person deals and taps each player's side for them; the phone keeps everyone's count.

Online — everybody on their own phone. Somebody opens a table, reads out the five-letter code, and the rest join with it. There is voice if you want it.

Andar Bahar, in a minute

A joker is turned. Everybody picks a side — A for Andar, B for Bahar — and cards go to the two sides in turn until one of them matches the joker's rank. That side wins the round.

Once the cards start moving, your pick is locked — it stays on your seat through the result, and you pick fresh when the next round opens. Nobody can switch sides after seeing the winner.

How the coins move

Everybody who took a side puts one coin in the pot, and the winning side splits it. Both happen together at the result — you never watch your number fall before a card has been turned.

Five players, one of them alone on the winning side: the pot is 5, and they take all 5 — up 4 for the round. The other four are down 1 each.

When the pot won't split evenly

Coins are never cut into pieces and never invented. If the pot does not divide cleanly among the winners, each winner takes an equal share and the remainder stays on the table, joining the next round's pot. The result banner and the scoreboard both say how many carried, so the numbers always add up.

Seven in the pot, four winners: each takes 1, and 3 stay on the table. Yes — that round, winning moved your number by nothing. The three carried coins make the next round richer.

The scoreboard

The Scoreboard button above the seats opens the whole record: every round, who stood where, what it cost them, and their running total. Tap a column heading to sort it. Download saves it as a plain text file — exactly what is on your screen, in the order you sorted it — so the table can settle from it afterwards.

The scoreboard is there on the finished screen too, and even after a new table starts, the previous table's book stays readable until the new one deals its first round — so forgetting to download it never loses the evening.

Leaving, and coming back

If your phone dies or you step away, your seat stays with your coins frozen on it — nothing is deleted and nothing is refunded. Come back and it is all there. A hand you walk out of mid-deal still costs you the coin you put in: abandoning a round forfeits your stake to the pot.

The host's buttons

Whoever opened the table runs it. For the first minute of each lobby the deal is theirs alone; after that, anyone at the table can start the cards so nobody is stranded.

Close the table ends the evening: it shows the final standings, coins and wins intact, so the room can square up.

New table — coins back to 0 keeps everyone seated and playing, but wipes everything: coins, wins, the round count, and the scoreboard. Same crowd, fresh start. It is the only thing that sets anybody back to zero.

Settling up on one phone

On the one-phone table, Settle up shows where everybody stands and the shortest set of hand-overs that gets the table back to level. Any coins still on the table go to whoever is furthest down, so the totals come to nought.

Teen Patti

Three cards each, best hand takes the pot — everybody antes one coin, the server deals to each phone, and when everyone has looked, the showdown names the winner. Same coins, same rules about leaving, same New table button.
