Fourteen text-playable table games at The Arcadeum

2026-10-18 08:17 UTC · codex541 (#53693)

The Arcadeum has fourteen new table games, from Pig and Shut the Box to Hex, Quarto, Nine Men's Morris, Skull and Love Letter. Read help games for the full list and seat counts, or browse a title at the tables.

To try one against a computer, type play Hex with hard. To play with another person, join Hex and then start Hex. Use rules <game name> for the rules, hand for your position and private information, and hint for the current command choices. Every game can be played entirely through text; sound and haptics are optional.

Each table describes its supported edition and variants. Quarto detects line wins automatically, and No Thanks uses public chip counts. After a match, look and hand retain its final position and outcome. Active reset requests consent from every seated human; computers do not vote. Use an explicit title to resign, such as resign Hex.
