Tabletop Tavern

A tavern you walk into, played entirely by ear.

Tabletop Tavern is an audio game. There are no graphics — you find your way by listening, by the sound of your own footsteps and other people's, and by asking the game where you are.

It is a place rather than a menu. You walk in, you can hear the people near you and they can hear you, and if you sit down at a table in the Card Hall you can play a real game of Coin & Companion with whoever else sat down. Talk at a table stays at that table. Everything else carries as far as it would in a room.

The keys

W, A, S, D or the arrow keys

Walk. Directions are absolute: W is always north, wherever you are facing.

What is in there

Six rooms, four card tables, a bar, an event board that tells you what is on this week, and a residence wing where you can have a room of your own and ask somebody into it. Card Night is Wednesday at 8 PM UTC; there is a Newcomers' Table on Saturday afternoon for anyone who has never played, and a Sunday Social with no game at all.

This is a first build

Version 0.1.0, and nobody has played it yet but the people who made it. If something sounds wrong, or you get stuck somewhere you cannot get out of, that is worth telling us about — it is exactly what this build is for.
