tableverse-kit gives you the packages needed to build a board game for Tableverse. You write the rules and frontend. Tableverse runs the game and hosts it for your players. Tableverse supplies the server, rooms, and network protocol.

​
What you build

Every project has two parts:
  • An engine package containing state, commands, turn flow, and setup.
  • A client package containing the interface your players see.
The engine produces a GameExecutor. The client derives its state and command types from that executor, so changes to your rules appear as TypeScript errors in your frontend.

​
The development loop

1

Define the rules

Model your game state, the commands players can use, and the stages that control play.
2

Build the frontend

Read the current player view and send typed commands through @tableverse-kit/client.
3

Preview locally

Run tvk dev to start the local server and frontend together. The server executes the same game definition you publish.
4

Upload

Run tvk upload. Tableverse builds the engine and frontend from your uploaded workspace, then gives you a deployment dashboard.

​
Before you start

Install a current Node.js release, which includes npm. Basic TypeScript editing is enough to begin.

Create your project

Scaffold a working engine and frontend.
