Create a public or private room and invite a friend with a share link or room code. The lobby is on this page: join a public room or watch a game already in progress. Rooms you created, including private ones, appear only under My rooms. Games use 9×9, 13×13, or 19×19 boards.

Create a room

Choose a room type and board size, then invite a friend with the room link or code.

Public rooms use a shorter code and appear in the public list for anyone to join. This browser can keep only one public room at a time.

Join a room

Paste a friend's share link or enter a room code. A waiting room starts a game; a game already in progress opens in spectator mode.

Tip: Leaving a room does not end the game. The host can return through My rooms below or close the room. If both players leave, it expires after about 20 minutes. Room codes are used only for this match and do not store personal information.

Share a Link, Start a Game

Create a room and send its link or code to another player. When you are both connected, moves stay in sync on the same 9x9, 13x13, or 19x19 board. You can also join a waiting public room from the lobby, or watch a game already in progress.

Join an open room

Open rooms appear in the lobby. Join a waiting room to sit down, or watch a game already in progress without placing stones. Room codes stay with the host and are not listed.
