Decks and Cards

A deck is a themed set of cards. After you select a deck, one or more card stacks appear on the canvas. You draw cards from these stacks and place them on the table.

What it is

Core elements

  • Deck: a themed set of cards with a shared visual style.
  • Groups: categories inside a deck (for example: people, situations, resources).
  • Display mode: "By groups" or "Single deck".
  • Card draw mode: "Face down" (random draw) or "Face up" (choose from a list).
  • Card on the table: can be face up or face down, moved and resized.

Roles and limits

  • Only the host can change deck modes.
  • All participants can draw and move cards.

How to use

Key steps

  1. Open the deck settings panel and switch to the "Deck" tab.
  2. Select a deck from the list.
  3. If the deck has multiple groups, choose a display mode: "By groups" or "Single deck".
  4. Choose a draw mode: "Face down" or "Face up".
  5. One or more stacks appear on the canvas. Click a stack to draw a card.
  6. In "Face up" mode, a fan or strip of cards opens - pick a card to place it on the table.
  7. Position the card, then flip or resize it if needed.

Scenarios

  • Random draw: pick a card "face down" for spontaneous associations.
  • Conscious choice: open the card list and select a specific card.
  • Group-based work: draw from different stacks for different themes.

Tips and errors

  • If you don't see mode toggles, the deck probably has only one group.
  • If modes are disabled, you are not the host - ask the host to change settings.
  • You can flip a card with a double click, a card button, or the context menu.
  • Use the context menu to return a card back to the deck.
