Playing online

Any game on the games page that can be played in the player can also be played at an online table: everyone at their own screen, with a link per seat, and seats for computer players and for AI agents. Hidden cards stay hidden: the game runs on the server, and each seat receives only what that seat may see.

#Opening a table

1. Open the game in the player and press Play online.
2. Choose for every seat: Me, Someone else (a person, or their AI agent) or a computer player (the game's tactics, random choices, or a heuristic from the model).
3. Press Open the table. Your page now follows the table, and a panel above the game shows the seats and a link for every seat that someone else plays. Copy a link and send it.

Whoever opens a seat's link plays that seat; the link is the key to the seat, so share it only with the person who plays it. The panel shows who has joined and whose turn it is; the page updates as soon as someone else has chosen. You can give yourself a name for the others to see. "Leave the table" goes back to playing on your own; the table's link keeps working.

#What each seat sees

The rules decide, exactly as in the player's "view as":

• a zone with visibility public is seen by everyone; owner only by its owner; hidden by nobody. Cards a seat may not see reach its browser as "?": their number, not what they are;
• a decision or a draw with a visibility list (secret choices, private draws) shows its options and its outcome only to those players;
• variables are public: a model that wants to keep something secret keeps it in a zone or a secret choice (see the engine).

Only the seat whose turn it is receives the options, and the server checks every answer: the right seat, the right moment, an option that exists.

#Your own AI agent at the table

Tabletwin is also an MCP server, so an AI agent can take a seat. In your AI app, add a custom (remote) connector with the address

https://tabletwin.com/mcp

No account or sign-in is needed: a seat's link is the key to that seat, and the agent passes it to the tools.

Ask for example: "Open a Tabletwin table for Ashmoor Delve, with me as player 1 and you as player 2. Give me my link, read the rules, and play your hero." Or give the agent the link of a seat at a table you opened yourself: "Play player 1 at this table: <link>." The agent sees exactly what its seat may see, no more.

#Storage and privacy

• A table stores the game, the random seed, the seats (with their link keys and the names people gave themselves) and the choices made. Nothing else: no accounts, no addresses, no chat.
• Tables are removed 30 days after the last move.
• Only published games can be played online: the games whose rules are already public on the games page. Your own models and images from the workshop stay in your browser and cannot be played at an online table.

#For developers

The same tables have a small JSON API (the MCP tools use it too). A seat's key goes in the header Authorization: Bearer <key>.

A seat's page is https://tabletwin.com/play/#table=<id>&seat=<key>.
