Table Mesh

Table Mesh lets a group of friends play a board game together at a real table, each on their own phone. The phones find each other over Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi when there is one) and form a small mesh: no internet, no server, no account, and no phone is the host. Every phone runs the game's rules itself and only the moves travel, so a game keeps going when a phone sleeps, drops out or restarts — it catches up from the others when it comes back. A tablet in the middle can show the whole board. **Included: Mensch ärgere Dich nicht** — the German family classic for 2–4 players, with the full rules, table dice or your own real dice, a referee override, bots to play against on your own, an in-game rulebook and tour, and a full-screen table view for the tablet. **More games from Nostr.** Games are small sandboxed modules, and every game is a signed Nostr event (kind 7529). *Discover* finds them and downloads their files from Blossom servers, checking every byte against the signed release before it is installed. Updates come only from the publisher who made the game. A game module has no network access and no storage: it can only receive moves and propose moves. **Share games without the internet.** Hand a game to a friend's phone right from the app: they tap *Receive a game*, you pick the game and their phone, they accept, and it comes over Bluetooth — their phone checks it against the publisher's signature before installing it. Game files can also be sent by hand, over e-mail or a chat. **No Google, no tracking.** No account, no ads, no analytics, no Google Play Services. **When something goes wrong, you see it.** Every phone keeps the whole game history, hash-chained. If two phones ever disagree, the table turns red and a person decides which history to keep — nothing is merged behind your back. This is an early release. The Bluetooth mesh has been tested extensively in simulation and on emulators; reports from real tables with several phones are very welcome.
