Meld: Poker with Friends

About this game

Meld turns your phones into a deck of cards for the people you actually know: poker night without the box of chips.

♠ ONE PHONE HOSTS, EVERYONE JOINS
Friends on the same Wi-Fi scan a QR code or type a short code and they're seated. No accounts, no sign-ups, no strangers. This is a table for your people. Or open an online table and send a link, so the same group can play from anywhere. Anyone can also just watch the table.

♥ A SHUFFLE NOBODY CAN STACK
Every phone at the table adds randomness to the shuffle, so nobody can stack the deck, not even the phone running the table. Each phone checks the result automatically when the night ends, and the app tells you honestly what it has checked and what it hasn't.

♦ THE TABLE SURVIVES YOUR PHONE
If the host's battery dies mid-hand, another phone picks the table up and the night carries on, chips exactly where they were. A player who drops gets their seat held. Nothing is ever folded, kicked or removed automatically: the table says what's happening and the people decide.

♣ REMEMBER THE NIGHT
Keep your regular table as a group: every night's results in one running ledger: who's up, who's down, across weeks. Hand history and stats stay on your device.

NEW TO POKER? A short course teaches Texas Hold'em from zero, and a practice table with bots has nothing at stake. One phone? Pass & play around the table.

PLAY MONEY ONLY. Chips have no cash value. Nothing to buy, nothing to win but bragging rights, no real-money play, no prizes. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.
