A
All
Pick up every card in the connected pile. On a double-tap, flip the whole group together.
The free table
Just a deck.
No rules.
Put any card anywhere. Make up a game, replay a family favourite, test an idea—or simply make a satisfying mess.
Cards as physical things
Small verbs.
Endless moves.
Drag to move, double-tap to flip, and drop near a depot to snap. That is all you need. When you want more control, arm a mode for the next gesture—or hold it for repeated use.
The modes answer different physical questions: what comes with the card, how the cards should land, whether they travel above or below, and what a double-tap should do. Many combine naturally.
Eleven table modes
S
Spread
Open the cards into a freehand fan while you drag, choosing its direction and shape yourself.
C
Corral
Gather a scattered cluster into a pile, column, row, or fan—the shape cycles with the mode.
D
Order
Reposition a card within its own fan while neighbouring cards slide aside to make room.
F
Fish
Pluck one card from anywhere in a pile without disturbing the cards above it.
G
Grab
Take the top N cards as a packet. Cycle common counts or choose any number from two to nine.
R
Rotate
Turn a card as you drag. Combine it with All, Spread, Fish, or Grab for group rotations.
V
Dive
Send the dragged cards behind the table instead of in front, tucking them under another pile.
T
Trawl
Sweep across the table and collect loose cards into the group already under your pointer.
H
Shuffle
Make the next double-tap shuffle the chosen pile in place instead of flipping it.
O
Orient
Set every card in scope face-up or face-down—perfect for tidying a mixed pile.
Modes are one-shot by default, can be held for repeated gestures, and compose into moves such as Fish + Grab, Spread + Grab, and All + Rotate.
