Yes, you can fill empty seats with animated computer opponents at three different skill levels. Use the lobby window (press O while seated) to add opponents before starting the round.
How do I move tiles during my turn?
Right-click and drag tiles directly on the board surface when the turn clock points to you. The on-screen turn indicator and sound cues will tell you when it's your turn to play.
What does the turn clock do?
The turn clock keeps the game moving at a steady pace by showing whose turn it is and providing sound cues when time passes. This prevents players from stalling and keeps matches flowing naturally.
How do item stakes and betting work?
Before starting a round, place items in your individual tray using the staking system. Your tray locks once the round begins, and the winner collects all staked items when the round ends.
Can other players watch my game?
Yes, nearby players can watch matches unfold in real time as spectators. They'll see the board state and tiles being played without being able to interact with the game.
Is cheating possible if I'm playing with friends?
No, the mod prevents cheating by keeping hidden hand data on the server until tiles are revealed during play. Other players cannot see your tiles or manipulate the game state.
What's the difference between Okey and Tavla tables?
Okey tables use 106 colored tiles and follow the classic tile-matching ruleset, while Tavla tables feature a 24-point board with 30 checkers and dice-based backgammon gameplay. Each table has its own dedicated block and rules.
Can I decorate around my game tables?
Yes, you can place
nargile pipes that emit smoke and bubbling sounds, and traditional Turkish tea glasses that can be held or placed on table corners to create an authentic coffee-house atmosphere.
