A free tabletop simulator that runs in your browser

What is on the table

Everything is a piece you place and move by hand. Decks hold Deck, Hand and Discard areas with Draw, Shuffle and Discard. Dice roll one at a time or all together. Boards are grids of cells with an optional background image, and pieces scale to fit the cells.

Bags hide what is inside until you pull one item at random. Trays hold other areas and open in their own window. Tables group things together, and any container can pile its items in a Stack and Fan them out again.

Counters track life, score or resources with plus and minus buttons or a slider, and a Log writes down rolls, draws, flips and counter changes as they happen.

You run the game, not the software

Like a real table, Iterary has no rules engine. It does not score, check moves or take turns for you. Players handle every card and die, which is why any game, finished or half-invented, plays the same way.

Undo and redo work in play too, so a misdrawn card or a stray roll is easy to take back.

Play together

For pass-and-play on one screen, tick Private on a Table to make it a seat: in play mode its cards stay covered until that player presses Reveal, and Hide covers them again before the device moves on. Areas and the whole table can be rotated to face each player.

To play remotely, send a share link. Each person who opens it gets their own copy, and the table is not synced between players, so a common setup is one person sharing their screen on a video call while everyone plays along.

Start from a game or from nothing

1. Browse the gallery and press Play on any game to open it on the table.
2. Use the Edit / Play button in the top bar to switch between changing the game and playing it.
3. Or open an empty table, pick pieces from the bar at the bottom and build your own.
4. Your game is kept in this browser, so a reload picks up where you left off. Save and Load, in the ⋮ menu, keep games in your account once you sign in with Google.
