What live mode does

Everything that usually ends up on scraps of paper at the table, in one view.

Overall standings of the night

Points for placements in every match, wins and number of games – the table grows with every result you record.

Matches and tournaments

Free-for-all, team match, co-op or tournament: knockout, double elimination, Swiss system, round robin, points, last man standing, king of the hill, group stage with knockout.

Toolbox

Dice, coin, timer, random player, draw teams, turn order, wheel of fortune for picking a game, score tracker and notes – the right tool for every game.

Voting on screen

Which game is next? The group votes, the result appears live. Several rounds per night are possible.

Photo of the night

A photo for the memories – it goes into the night's recap, not into the spectator view.

Dark or light

The dark theme is easy on the eyes on a TV, the light one suits a living room in daylight. Switch with one click.

Ideas from real game nights

Family night

The TV shows the table, the kids record their own wins, and the grandparents follow the night by link from their own sofa.

Club or store meetup

Projector on, live mode open, and every table sees the same ranking. The spectator link goes into the club chat.

Tournament with an audience

The Catan tournament runs over eight rounds. Whoever is knocked out or had to stay home sees every result live.

Two living rooms, one night

The group plays the same game in two places. One host records the results, both living rooms look at the same table.
