Make up any game and play it right in your chat.
Tell Claude or ChatGPT what you want to play, and a real board shows up in the chat. You click to move and the AI takes its turn. Friends can join from a link.
And the AI can't peek at your cards or fudge the dice. Playtable handles both.
Set it up once
Playtable is a connector. Add it once and any chat can start a game.
https://play.rowhousesoftware.com/mcp- Claude (web, desktop or phone): Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste the link above and name it Playtable. Free plans can add one custom connector.
- ChatGPT: Settings, then Apps, then Advanced, and turn on Developer mode. Then create an app with the link above. Developer mode needs a paid plan right now.
- Anything else that speaks MCP, like Cursor or VS Code: add a remote server with the link above. No key needed.
Then just ask: "Let's play checkers" or "Make up a card game for two and deal me in."

Or make up your own
Describe it however you like. "A dice game where we race to 50 and doubles let you steal 5 points." "A mystery where you question three suspects and I secretly pick the culprit." "Battleship-style, but on a 6x6 board with three ships." The AI turns it into a game on the table and plays it with you.
Questions
Can the AI cheat?
It can't see your cards or the deck. The server deals the cards and rolls the dice itself, and the AI only ever sees its own hand. When it has to keep a secret, like the word in hangman, it locks it in at the start and you see it at the end, so you can check it never changed.
What games can I play?
Pretty much anything with a board or cards, plus dice games, word games and guessing games. Start from one of the games below or describe your own.
Can friends play too?
Yes. Every game has a link. Send it to a friend and they can take an empty seat in their browser, no account needed. The AI can still play the other seats.
Does it cost anything?
No. Playtable is free while it's new.
Will it make Monopoly or Uno?
No. It won't copy branded games, but it'll happily make an original game that plays a lot like one you have in mind.
