The Card Table

It’s not a card game. It’s every card game. The Card Table gives you a virtual deck of cards so you can play any of your favorite card games. You are in charge of the rules, such as how many cards to deal, how to keep score, and how to take turns. If you know how to play a game with a physical deck of cards, you can play it with The Card Table—without needing to shuffle!

An iPad becomes your card table, players keep their hands on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and you “pass” cards between devices. Players’ devices connect to the iPad via Bluetooth and/or Wifi. The magic is in the direct communication between devices. When you pass a card it doesn’t go through a server—it goes directly from one device to the next! Now you can easily play your favorite games on road trips or airplanes.

Purchased this to play with hubby as he purchased it also...nowhere does it tell you you need Game Center...it can’t be played on later IOS updates ?

Doesn’t work for me

It worked when I first got it but won't work now. I emailed their support, that didn't work either. Your results may vary but I wouldn’t count on it.


Very cool!

Love this app, I wish there was a way to distinguish high and low joker for Pitch!


Sweet, needs improvement

A really good app, but there should be a shuffle deck button and iPads should be able to hold their own deck of cards.


Awesome app

Awesome app but needs the function for using iPads as a hand.


Need option to use iPad as a hand.

We were so excited to play tonight but were disappointed when the minis all wanted to be the table and didn't see an option to play as a hand. Our family has all iPad minis and only one iPhone in the house. Great idea. Can't wait for this feature.


Game Center login is a F- grade

I don't use Game Center nor do I wish to. This game requires signing in through Game Center. Don't bother.


No idea how this works

Was trivial to install on devices & connect (everyone must log in to apple game center). Lovely interface but lousy tutorial. Wanted to play a game and it didn't explain at all how to play any games just a random hand of cards and no rules. Would make sense if had explanation available before getting everyone all ready to play and then FAIL no idea how to use this app. Yeah I'm being that jerk writing a grumpy review after trying an app just once, but really all that effort into making a lovely UI and dynamic multi-device interface -- how the heck can you play ANY game on it Very disappointed
