Build a game. Bring everyone to the table.

A game is an ordinary TypeScript module. Its rules, legal choices, hidden information, and completion live together. The browser table is one way to play it.

Your first move

npm install --save-exact @tabletopwithfriends/sdk@0.1.0
npm install --save-dev --save-exact @tabletopwithfriends/cli@0.1.0
npx twf create my-game
cd my-game
npm install
npx twf dev

The SDK does not require a browser, server, or cloud account. The CLI adds a local table, headless playtesting, and deployment tools.

A small game, completely defined

import { defineGame } from '@tabletopwithfriends/sdk'

export const game = defineGame({
  id: 'first-to-five',
  state: { count: 0 },
  actions: {
    increment(draft) { draft.count += 1 },
  },
  end: ({ state }) => state.count >= 5,
})

This is already inspectable and playable to completion. Add components and a scene when you are ready to give it a physical table.

One definition, every player

Author the state and rules in TypeScript. Playtest with deterministic seeds and discoverable actions. Deploy an immutable release. Every room keeps the code and artwork it started with.
