Durak with friends: a private room by link
An open lobby table is not ideal when you want to play with a particular group: a stranger may take the last seat. A private room solves that with a password and a direct link. Friends can join as guests, so they do not need to create accounts first.
Set up the table
Click "Create table" and choose the mode, deck, stake, and number of seats. Change the room type to Private and set a password. Once the room opens, copy its browser address and send it to the other players.
The link takes them to the correct table. They enter the password and choose an open seat. A full table cannot accept another player.
A duel or a 2v2 game
Leave two seats for a game with one friend; the two-player guide explains how that match differs. A team table needs four people, so send the link to three friends. Partners sit opposite each other.
If someone cannot join
Check the end of the address first. It must contain the ID of your room. Then enter the password again without spaces before or after it. After a match, there is no need to create a new table: everyone can stay, ready up, and play again.
