Arena server
Posted: Apr 23, 2026, 1:00 PM

I added a new "Arena" server option in the live game room. It's a bit barebones for now, and currently web-only, I'll get to the mobile clients later. Here's the gist
- You set up the table before you create it,
- people can request to join your table and you can accept or decline,
- when a player joins, they're automatically seated, and the game starts within 5 seconds or when both players press play, whichever comes first,
- the 5-second rule also applies to the 2nd game in the set if the game is rated,
- There's currently no timer after that first set,
- a player can't ask to join a table more than once per minute to avoid spamming


The idea was to lower the friction to play live games. Instead of having to start a conversation before you start a game.

I have a ton of enhancements in mind if this gets more popular.

When you say that there's no timer after the first set, you are referringto the 5 second start timer, correct?

Retired from TB Pente, but still playing live games & exploring variants like D, poof and boat
