Shared dice in Yahtzee
The host switches on digital dice for the table. When it is your turn you throw on your own phone, and everyone else watches the dice land on theirs. Up to six players, a phone each.
Play together
One match, a phone each
Play together puts one live match on every phone at the table. One player starts it, the others scan a code, and everyone plays from their own phone over the same Wi-Fi. No account, no internet and no server.
How it works
At the table in three steps
-
Start a table
Open a game that supports Play together and tap Start a table. Your phone shows a QR code, and you are the host.
-
Scan the code
Everyone else opens braggster on their own phone, on the same Wi-Fi, and taps Scan a code. The table also shows up under Tables on this Wi-Fi, so they can pick it from the list instead.
-
Accept and play
A scanned code lets a player straight in; someone who picked the table from the list waits for you to tap Accept. Then you start the match, and everyone plays their own seat on their own phone.
Games
6 games to play together
Each of these also works on a single phone. With Play together, every player takes a seat on their own phone instead.
Every move, on every phone
On the boards, the last move is marked on both phones, so you can see what your opponent just did the moment you look down.
Privacy and price
It stays at your table
Only your Wi-Fi
The phones talk to each other directly over your local network. There is no braggster server in between, nothing goes over the internet, and the connection between each phone and the host is encrypted.
Joining is free
Only the host needs the game. Anyone who joins can play without buying it or using up a free play, so one phone never holds up the table. The match counts in every player's own statistics.

Questions
Play together questions
Do we need an internet connection?
No. The phones only need to be on the same Wi-Fi. Nothing goes over the internet, and there is no account to create.
Does it use Bluetooth?
No. Play together runs over Wi-Fi, which is what lets iPhones and Android phones join the same table.
Can iPhone and Android players join the same table?
Yes. A table can mix iPhones and Android phones freely.
How many players can join?
Chess, Checkers, International draughts, Backgammon and Othello are two-player games, so two phones. Yahtzee takes up to six players, a phone each.
Does a Play together match count in my statistics?
Yes. The match is saved on every phone at the table and counts in each player's own statistics. Practice games against the computer do not.
Why can't my friend find the table?
Check that both phones are on the same Wi-Fi, and on an iPhone allow braggster to use the local network. If the table still does not show up in the list, scan the host's code instead.
