Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why won't you add rule-variations/replayable-games/any-other-feature? It would make the game much better.
A: We get a lot of requests from people that just want one tiny little feature added to a game. What they don't realize is that if we start implementing all the suggestions we get then the games will no longer be simple. The number one praise we get is that the interface is simple and uncluttered and it's easy to play. That's very much deliberate. There is no login, no loading screens, as few options as possible. We want to keep it as simple as possible, and that means each game only has one set of rules, you can't choose variations, we try to add as few controls as possible to the screen etc. So, don't feel bad if you make a suggestion and I deny it, we deny 99% of all suggestions.
Q: Why can't I see my statistics on another computer?
A: This goes back to simplicity again. We don't want people to have to login to the site. We don't want to keep passwords in a database and be responsible for them. Your statistics are stored in your browser, we don't store them anywhere. That means that as soon as you switch browsers you won't see the same statistics.

Q: Does this site use cookies and/or track people?
A: Yes, this site uses cookies. They are used for game purposes, like remembering your scores between rounds, but also to gather aggregate data on people's browsers, screen resolutions and more, which helps us figure out what we need to support. Finally they are also used for advertising purposes. A more detailed description of our cookie use can be found in our Privacy Policy, and you can always reach out and contact us if you're concerned about it.
Q: Do the computer players cheat? Are the games fixed?
A: No. In all the games the cards are dealt randomly at the start, and the computer players make their decisions based only on knowledge of their own hands, and knowledge of what has been played. Basically they use the same information as a human player would have available to them.
Q: I saw an offensive ad. Can you remove it?
A: If you see an ad that is offensive to you then please contact us and we'll try our best to block it. Due to the way advertising works we can't always immediately find the ads to block them, but if you send a screenshot of it, or you remember any text on it or a url then there's a much higher chance that we can find it and block it.
When I announced that the newsletter was back, I asked for people to send me requests. I heard from A LOT of folks who were interested in finding a way to play games without sharing materials, either at home, in virtual classrooms, or in-person.
So I've been hunting for resources ever since! And I wanted to share one with you this week: playingcards.io
What is playingcards.io?
Playing Cards Io Review
Essentially, playingcards.io is a completely customizable deck of cards that anyone who is playing can see.
All Bad Cards
So imagine your daughter makes a custom game room and invites your cousin from Chicago to enter the room. There will be a 52 card deck, face down in the center of the screen. If your daughter picks up a card and clicks it, then both she and her cousin will be able to see the value at the same time.
There is a 'hand' feature where everyone who is logged in can place cards in their hand so that nobody else can see.
So if you know any games that are playable with a standard deck, you can play online immediately just by starting a custom room!
But that's not all - there are also classic games available, such as cribbage, checkers, chess, euchre, and a few others. You can start one of those rooms as well and play right away.

Did you notice that not all these games are card games? That's right - when I said fully customizable, I meant it! In fact, I am working on a custom version of another game, to be released in a future email...
If you're curious, you can google 'playingcards.io custom decks' and find some enterprising folks who have made decks for games as varied as Sushi Go, Uno, Apples to Apples, and Ticket to Ride(!). I can't vouch for the quality of all these files, but if you've played the game before you can test out those files with your friends and family!
If you do end up using the site, let me know what you played and how it went! I'd love some tips to include when I share the deck I am working on.
