Written steps

  1. 1

    Choose in the lobby

    When you start a table, the theme gallery sits under the house rules. Tap a table to pick it.

  2. 2

    Or let the table surprise you

    Surprise me hides the choice until the first deal, when the room is revealed. Every Run It Back on a Surprise me table gets a new room.

  3. 3

    Save your favourite

    Signed-in hosts can set a default theme on the You tab, so the next table opens on it with one tap.

Try it at your table

Start a table on Surprise me and see which room the first deal opens on.

Quick check

Are the four themes free?

Yes. Backyard, Family Reunion, Barbershop and Rooftop are included; card backs beyond the default are the paid extras.
