TableForge

You’re the game designer. Build a board game, playtest it against thousands of simulated games, and learn what makes a game fair and fun. Chance is a design tool — you decide the job it does.

Level 1

Design Lab

Assemble a race game — a die or spinner, a board length, the number of players, and a rule — then run a playtest of 2000 games. Read a live fairness report: who really wins, how long games run, and whether going first is an unfair edge. Then tune it.

Design & playtest a gameBuild it, run a Monte-Carlo playtest, read the fairness report.

Probability Lab

Predict first: which sum is most likely, which spinner is better, does going first help? Commit your guess before the math reveals the answer and explains why. A wrong prediction is a great start.

Predict the oddsDice curves, spinners, expected value, first-player advantage.

Play together

Two ways to keep going — a same-device match with friends, or a trail through every kit. On-device only; nothing leaves this device.

Table Duel (pass-and-play) 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions for everyone, highest first-try score wins. Table Quest — follow the map → A progression trail through every kit. Clear each stop of real practice, then move on.
