The Solution

Can play anywhere, even in class

Find friends who are online, or play against strangers

Customizable tables No rules, just the

experience

Bringing the table experience to your iPhone

User: “I don’t know much about iPhones but I do know cards. Can I join a game easily and if so, how do I do?”

User: “I’m a bit more knowledgeable, can I play using gestures and other shortcuts?

User: “I’m more advanced and I have more time on my hands, I’d like to have my own table and set up the rules. Can I do that?

Still under development
