Your living room
has a card table now.

One screen is the table; every phone is a hand nobody else can see. An iPad or Apple TV runs the game over your Wi‑Fi, and everyone joins free from their own phone. No account, and nobody left out.

On the table

Kartaz is two apps: one runs the table, one is your seat.

Hosting game night Start a table

One iPad or Apple TV becomes the dealer and the shared screen. Free to try, with a full game every day. $3.99 a game when you’re ready.

Game night

Nobody’s on their phone.
Everybody’s on their phone.

The TV runs the table. Each phone holds a hand nobody else can see. Same room, same night, and not one person staring at a feed.

Free, every day

Play a whole game tonight without paying anything.

Not a timed trial, and not a stripped-down table. The demo deals a complete game with every seat open and no settings locked. The next day it resets.

Only the host installs KartazTV. Because the demo refreshes daily, it checks the time online to start one; a game you own needs no connection at all.

House rules · free play
Lotería One full game, every day
La Viuda One full game, every day
Blackjack Solo, any time you like
Every seat open · nothing locked
How it works

From a quiet iPad to a full table in under a minute.

One iPad (or Apple TV) hosts. Everyone else joins from their phone with Kartaz, the free seat app. The host owns the game; friends just play.

01

Set an iPad on the table

Pick a game from the lobby. The iPad becomes the dealer and the shared screen everyone watches. Patio, kitchen, cabin, backyard. Apple TV works too.

02

Friends join, free

Everyone grabs the free Kartaz seat app, taps your table, and picks a name. No account, no purchase, no card on file. Up to ten phones gather round.

03

Deal, bet, laugh, repeat

Hands play out on phones; the iPad keeps score, calls the cards, and runs the night. All of it over your own Wi-Fi, with no game server in the middle.

The library

Three games. Buy what you’ll play, or grab all three.

Each game is a one-time purchase inside KartazTV, on the host’s device only. The Kartaz Complete bundle unlocks all three.

Folk-art bingo $3.99

Kartaz: Lotería

Mexican folk-art bingo with a bankroll. The caller sings the cards from the iPad; every phone holds its own board. Drop a bean to mark, and shout ¡Lotería!

The chips are play money. You cannot buy them and you cannot cash them out; the only thing at stake is bragging rights. One-time purchases are made inside KartazTV on the host’s iPad or Apple TV, and players never pay. Prices shown in USD; local pricing may vary. Before you buy anything, the free daily demo plays a full game of Lotería and a full game of La Viuda every day, with every seat open.

Why Kartaz

Built for the table, not the algorithm.

A game night that fits in your bag. The people you love, the games you grew up with, and none of the things you hate about apps.

No account for friends

Friends install the free seat app and join your table. No signup, no purchase, no card on file. Their phone is just a controller for the night.

Runs on your own Wi-Fi

Phones find the host over local Wi-Fi and the whole game plays out right there, with no server of ours in the middle. Once you own a game, the cabin, the lake and the AirBnB all work with no internet at all.

No ads. No subscription.

Pay once and keep it. One game is $3.99, all three are $9.99. No ads, no upsells mid-hand, and nothing about you is ever sold. The player app collects no data at all.

Everyone queues the music

Link your own Apple Music on the iPad and the whole table adds the next song from their seat. Hit a natural blackjack and you skip the line.

Family Sharing built in

One purchase covers your household. Your partner, parents and grandparents can all host without paying twice.

Real card behavior

Splits, doubles and insurance in Blackjack. Six house patterns in Lotería. Widow-swap drama in La Viuda. Not slot-machine cosplay. Every chip is play money: nothing to buy, nothing to cash out, nothing to win but bragging rights.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

A game night kit for the living room: an iPad or Apple TV runs the shared card table on the big screen, and everyone in the room plays from their own iPhone. Three games: Lotería, La Viuda, and Blackjack. The iPad is the table; everyone’s phone is a chair.
No. Friends install the free Kartaz seat app and join your table. No account, no purchase, no card on file. Only the host needs to own the game they want to play.
Each game is a one-time $3.99 purchase inside KartazTV, or $9.99 for Kartaz Complete, which unlocks all three and saves you $2. No subscription, no ads, nothing else to buy. Prices are in USD and local pricing may vary. Only the host ever pays: the Kartaz app your friends install is free, and stays free.
Not to play a game you own. Phones connect straight to the host over your local Wi-Fi and the whole game runs there, so the cabin, the lake and the AirBnB are all fine with no signal. Some things do reach the internet when it is there: buying a game, Apple Music, iCloud sync of your purchases and chips, and anonymous usage counts. One catch worth knowing up front: the free daily demo checks the time online to tell that a new day has started, so the demo needs a connection even though owning the game does not. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
Up to ten phones in Lotería, nine in La Viuda, and six at the Blackjack table once the host owns the game. The free demo never shrinks the table or locks settings: Lotería and La Viuda play with everyone seated, one full game each per day. Blackjack is free to play solo anytime.
No, and that’s on purpose. Kartaz is built for people sitting together: phones connect to the host over the same Wi-Fi, so there is no online matchmaking, no remote seats, and no way to deal in your cousin two cities away. If everyone is in the house, everyone is in the game.
Both apps carry Apple’s 18+ rating because the games simulate gambling with virtual chips: bets in Blackjack, a bankroll in Lotería, lives in La Viuda. To be clear about what that does not mean: there is no real money anywhere in Kartaz. You cannot buy chips, you cannot cash anything out, and there is nothing to win but bragging rights. The rating covers the theme, not your wallet. It does mean Screen Time restrictions can block the install on a younger family member’s device.
Never. A single game is a one-time purchase on the host’s device, or get the Kartaz Complete bundle of all three. Family Sharing covers everyone in your household.
Link your own Apple Music account on the iPad, and everyone at the table can queue the next song right from their seat. Land a natural blackjack and your pick skips the line.
An iPad or Apple TV to host the table, and an iPhone for each player. The host downloads KartazTV; everyone else grabs Kartaz, the free seat app.
