A table is one game, with seats people can take. Starting one takes two quick choices: which game, and whose copy of it you’ll play on. Then a short setup screen, and the table is open.

Opening It

There are two ways in, and both end up in the same place.
  • Create a table on the On the Table tab opens Start a Table with the list of games.
  • + Table on a game’s card skips the list. You land straight on the choice of whose copy to use.
On a computer, Start a Table is a compact window. On a phone it fills the screen.

Picking the Game

The list uses the same game picker as the rest of WR-Games, in a compact one-game-at-a-time layout. Use the tabs for My Collection, Group Collection and Games Directory, search by name, and tap a game to pick it.
  • My Collection has folder pills, so you can narrow the list to one folder.
  • Group Collection has a Filter by Owner control, handy when you remember whose game it is.
Tap a game and the window moves on to Whose Copy. If you picked the wrong one, All Games takes you back to the list.

Choosing Whose Copy

The Whose Copy section lists the copies you can play on. Pick one, then press Continue to Table Setup.
You see a Use Sarah’s Copy row for each copy its owner has opened to other tables, plus I’ll Bring My Own. Each opened copy says that its owner lets others run tables on it.Copies their owners haven’t opened don’t show up for you.
The first opened copy is selected for you. If nobody has opened a copy, I’ll Bring My Own is selected instead. You can change it before you continue.
When no copy is open to other tables, you’ll see a note: “Nobody has opened a copy of this game for other tables, so you’re bringing your own. We’ll add it to your games.” Continuing puts the game on the On the Table list as one you’re bringing, then opens setup for your table.
If the table can’t be created, the game you just added is taken back off the list, and you’re asked to try starting the table again.

If You Already Bring the Game

When the game is already on the list under your name, there’s nothing to choose. Picking it skips Whose Copy and goes straight to table setup on your own copy.

Setting Up the Table

Setup is the last screen. Everything on it has a sensible starting point, so a table can be one tap away. Press Start table and it’s open. Anyone who’s going can take a seat from the Tables tab. See On the Table for how seats work from their side.
If you’re running a table on someone else’s copy, setup adds a checkbox, Keep my table if this copy stops coming, so you can choose what happens to your table.

On the Table

Adding games, requesting and voting, and taking a seat.
