About PlayingCards.io
PlayingCards.io provides online rooms to play card and tabletop games with others. A host selects a game and starts a private room, and other players join by entering the room code. Objects in the room are moved by dragging, with movements synchronized live between players.
Players enforce rules and take turns themselves, as at a physical card table. The site does not include chat, so players use another site or phone to talk. Rooms can be adjusted or built from scratch with custom card graphics, automations, and dice.
