How to play games in ChatGPT and Claude with a real board

Add one connector and you can play checkers, card games, dice games or games you make up, right in the chat, with the AI as your opponent.

Chatbots are fun to play games with until they lose track of the board, forget whose turn it is, or "roll" a suspiciously good number. Playtable fixes that. It's a free connector that keeps the game on a real board, shown right in the chat.

Add it once, then ask for any game. You'll get a board you can click, the AI plays its turns, and you can send a link so a friend can join.

Set it up once

Playtable is a connector. Add it once and any chat can start a game.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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."
