Infographic: The Evolution of Rummy and Variants playingcards.io/evolution-of-r Isn't it interesting how different variations of card games have similar game mechanics? This infographic explores different variants of Rummy and how they came to be. Feel free to repost and share.

Also for your techies, we're now running on power-efficient ARM servers (AWS Graviton) 🌟

Today on Extreme Makeover Website Edition, PlayingCards.io gets a new look Featuring: - Top navigation with buttons to quickly create/import - Simplified / improved type - A dedicated Games page for our ever-growing library Let us know your feedback!

As a follow up of the last update, you can now distribute the selected widgets as well. And the Edit Mode message gets out of the way after a moment too.

14. Delighted with today's play-test! Also really loving

Improvements to card deck CSV import/export! - CSVs can now have an item-count column, with the number of cards to add - CSV import no longer resets the whole deck, great for making tweaks on the fly, item-key column is used for 'sameness' - These columns are added on CSV export

We've just added double-sided pieces! When editing a pieces collection, in the Template tab you'll now see the Face/Back dropdown with a checkbox to enable double-sided. Also, cards can now be single-sided if you choose.

We've just added another trick-taking game: Oh Hell! playingcards.io/game/oh-hell We also added a new Separator widget. These simple lines can go a long way in making your game easy to understand.

Sure about that? - Automation Buttons can now show a confirmation popup, so you can stop "accidentally" resetting the game when dealt a bad hand Josh... - We also added game previews on your account page for easier organization: playingcards.io/account

Okay we should be good, one of our databases ran out of space but is fixed now. We'll continue to monitor the situation. Apologies for any interruptions and as always, have fun!

We're aware of an issue with the site causing rooms to be stuck on "Loading..." Currently investigating the situation and will update.

Shoutout to

for making it easy to collaborate on the graphic layout! See if you can spot the differences between the wireframe and final version 😀

We've just released a small update that adds drag-and-drop reordering to the Automation Button steps and the Cards tab when editing card decks. (The order in the Cards tab is used when sorting cards via automation) Have fun!

By request, we've added an extra option to the Change Chooser automation. It can now cycle to the next or previous choice, in addition to selecting a specific option. Have a great weekend everyone!

Before Pokemon Go There Was Mah Jongg

Pokemon Go is all the rage now, but it certainly isn't the first gaming fad to take over Washington. In the 1920s DC couldn't get enough of Mah Jongg.

Heads up! We've changed the look of the popup you see when joining a game. Also, we've added a new holder layout: "Freeform". This layout doesn't move cards/pieces placed in a holder, so you can arrange cards how you want and still use Automation Buttons to clear the area.

Thanks to everyone who's filled out our survey so far! We've received a lot of excellent feedback including many requests for dice. If you haven't filled it out yet and would like to, you can here:

Let's roll the dice, with our new Dice widget! This has been our most requested feature. You can customize the faces (just like cards), and even have more/less than 6 faces.

Mahjong is finally here! playingcards.io/game/mahjong The flexibility of our platform lets you play Mahjong with whatever house rules you want, in a way that feels just like playing in-person. Let us know what you think, and have a good weekend!

Time for a new perspective! Our latest update allows you to view the table upside-down. Primarily for Chess, Checkers, and Backgammon. Enable with the option on Player Seats, affecting the seated player. Card Decks & Piece Collections can also keep the pieces right-side-up.

We're still planning on allowing people to add their own games directly to the site, but there are a lot of steps from here to there. Until then, this should make .pcio files much easier. 😀

.pcio files just got easier! We know a lot of you share and even sell .pcio files, so we wanted to make it as easy as possible to use them. You can now go to the import page and select a file to create a room in 1 step! playingcards.io/import

Introducing, the Chooser. This widget lets players choose an item from a list of options. For example, if they fold, the current trump suit, player bids, and more. The options are also fully customizable, just like cards!

We've just added two new Rummy variants to the site: Continental Rummy playingcards.io/game/continent and Ten Pennies playingcards.io/game/ten-penni Have a great weekend everyone!

We have a "mini cereal box variety pack" update: - Customizable hand size and location - Customizable overlap for spread out cards (in Edit Deck) - Shuffle and Sort automations can apply to Player Seats - Numbers on range selectors (in edit popups) - New games: Reversi and Spades

May 27, 2021

Note: holders will no longer change size when objects are dropped on them. Instead, edit the holder to change the width/height. You can also click a deck and choose "Add Card Holder" to quickly make a holder the correct size, or duplicate an existing holder.

- Chips and other Pieces can be placed in holders, and moved with Automation Buttons - Holders can now limit what objects can be placed in them As always, let us know your feedback!

Thank you for holding... this week's update adds a number of improvements to holders! - Holders can now arrange cards, in a "spread" (similar to the hand), or in a grid - Spread cards now show a tab, allowing you to move all cards, and can have multiple groups (great for melds)

We have new games to announce! Just added: - 31 - S**thead - Kaiser - Rummy - Gin Rummy - Indian Rummy - Hockey playingcards.io/#games (New features coming soon!)
