The herald's gate

Summon the Houses

Seal an invitation of your own, or present a code at the gate. Each noble plays from their own device, seats are held for reconnects, and the state of the table is kept by the Crown - not by any one player.

At one device instead? Set the table for pass-and-play.

The herald is opening a guest session for this device. The buttons wake as soon as it is ready - usually a moment.

Returning to a table you have already joined? Enter the same code on this device and your seat, House and hidden Charity chest come back exactly as you left them.
