Good to know

Can we discuss answers before submitting?

No. Answer privately first, then reveal together. The point is to discover matching ideas without planning them.

Do similar answers count as a match?

The rules use exact matching answers. Agree on simple wording before starting; do not assume the game will understand synonyms or different phrases.

Bring your friends

Create a room with your name and share its invite link or code. Friends join from their own phones or laptops. If you are apart, use a separate voice or video call; Table Bandit does not provide voice chat. One shared laptop is another option when you can keep private cards and answers hidden from the right players.

You can open a room alone to prepare. Start when the group is ready; if someone joins later, the host can restart with everyone. Use the game’s normal turn controls to finish a match, or New round for a fresh start. Add score records a round winner when you want to keep score.
