Setonix is a table sandbox game where you can decide how to play. Spawn cards everywhere you like, add optional rules and play with your friends or alone without internet.
This project is still in development and not ready for production use. Please join the matrix or discord server for updates!

- Tabletop sandbox: Place cards, dice, chips, and boards; move pieces, shuffle stacks, flip cards, and arrange hands with stacked or distributed cell layouts.
- Games and templates: Save and resume worlds, import and export
.stnxfiles, and reuse a prepared setup as a template. - Tables and teams: Organize multiple tables, restrict playing areas, bookmark waypoints, and use team-private cells for hidden hands.
- Notes and chat: Keep Markdown rules and live game actions beside the board, link between notes, and chat with other players.
- Game modes: Play a prepared Chess setup or scripted Blackjack with competitive and dealer rules. Add custom Luau rules on native platforms, the web, and dedicated servers.
- Multiplayer: Host from a native app through WebSockets or Swamp, join LAN games, or run a dedicated server with roles, moderation, and persistent bans.
- Local identities: Authenticate with public-key accounts and move identities between devices using passphrase-encrypted backups.
- Custom packs: Create figures, textures, decks, boards, backgrounds, translations, and modes in shareable content packs.
- Cross platform: Play on Android, Windows, Linux, macOS, and in the browser, with an iOS preview available.

Setonix is still in development. Clients and servers negotiate protocol versions; use compatible builds. Multiplayer hosting from the browser is unavailable, and dedicated-server multi-world routing is incomplete. Some script and save failures still have limited user-facing diagnostics. See troubleshooting for known limitations and recovery steps.
Local games work offline after the app and packs are installed. LAN games can work without internet access; public directories and Swamp services require network access. Browser saves belong to the browser profile, so export important games separately.
