Over the phone or on FaceTime

Call the person you want to play with, the way you always would. Everything below happens without hanging up.

Create a party and send them the link by message — or just read out the six-character code, which is quicker than spelling a URL.

They open it in a browser and type a name. A phone handles the call and the game at the same time, so neither of you has to move to a computer.

On Discord

Join a voice channel with everyone who wants to play. You do not need to share your screen.

Create a party here and paste the link into that channel's text box.

Everyone clicks it, opens it in a browser, and types a name. The voice channel keeps running the whole time.

On Zoom

Start the meeting as usual. As long as everyone is already in the call, the rest is quick.

Paste the party link into the Zoom chat. If you would rather say it than send it, read out the six-character code instead.

Everyone opens it in a second tab and sits down. Shrinking the Zoom window lets you watch the board and the faces at once.

How to choose

Playing someone for the first time? Pick a game with short rules so the call never stalls on an explanation.
If you do not yet know how many are coming, choose a game with a high seat limit and grow into it.
On a long call, several ten-minute games give you more natural places to stop than one long one.

FAQ

Which calling app should we use?

Whichever you already use. Phone, FaceTime, Discord and Zoom all work — you only need to share the link.

Can I stay on the call and play in a browser?

Yes, on a phone as well. The game opens in a separate tab and the call keeps running.

Does the other person need an account?

No. They open the link you sent, type a name, and sit down.

How many of us can play together?

100, in the games that seat the most. For a bigger call, pick a game with a high seat limit.
