The auction timeout bid a random legal rank, which could hand the auction (and the call) to a disconnected player. An absent bidder now always passes; only the last player standing before any bid cannot pass, and is made to bid the ace - its suit is picked at random by the existing call timeout. This keeps a deal from stalling without a caller while never letting an absent player outbid someone. The deadline log line now says which of the two happened.
tavolo
A platform for multiplayer card games. Three games are included: scopone scientifico — the four-player, fixed-partnership Italian card game — briscola, in its classic two-player and four-player partnership (briscola a quattro) variants, and briscola chiamata — the five-player variant with a calling auction and a secret partner:
server/— backend: Python + kaya framework, OIDC login, live games in Redis, match statistics in Postgres. A monorepo of four distributions sharing thetavolonamespace: the game-independenttavolo-platform, thetavolo-scoponeandtavolo-briscolagames, and thetavolo-appcomposition root wiring them together. See server/README.md.web/— frontend: Rust + Sycamore compiled to WebAssembly, built with Trunk and styled with Bootstrap 5.3 (MIT, vendored underweb/vendor/so builds work offline) plus the custom felt theme inweb/theme.css. Card images are the CC0 woodcut napoletane deck traced from a 1902 Naples print (SONDLecT/woodcut-napoletane).
Run the whole stack
docker compose up --build
Postgres, Redis, a mock OIDC provider (test users alice, bob, carol,
dave), the database migrator and the app all come up together. The app —
frontend and API — listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080.
Because both the browser and the app talk to the OIDC issuer at
http://mockoauth:8180/tavolo, add a host entry once:
echo "127.0.0.1 mockoauth" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
Between hands
When a hand ends but the match is not decided, the game pauses on a
scoring summary screen: scopone players see how each category was won
(carte, denara, settebello, primiera, scope — plus napola and asso
pigliatutto when enabled), briscola players see the deal's points and any
patta; both see the running totals and must click "Understood" before
the next hand is dealt. If someone is away the next hand is dealt
automatically after HAND_ACK_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default 30s). The
match-ending hand is explained on the final screen. Briscola chiamata
plays a single deal per match, so it goes straight from the last trick to
the final scoring screen; a 60–60 patta is replayed immediately.
On your turn
Every turn shows a countdown (TURN_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, default 30s). If a
player does not move — disconnected or fallen asleep — the server plays a
random legal card for them (choosing among the legal captures when the
rules require a capture), so one absent player cannot stall the table.
Briscola chiamata arms the same countdown for its auction turns and for
the auction winner's called-card choice: an absent bidder passes, the
last player standing with no bid is made to bid the ace, and a timed-out
call names a random suit of the won rank.
Watching
Anyone who has the game URL (/game/<id>) can watch, logged in or not:
spectators see the table, the score and every player's captured cards
(and scope for scopone), but never a hand and never the join code. In
briscola chiamata they also see no role labels and no side totals until
the called card is played, so the secret partner stays secret. The
"Copy watch link" button in the waiting room and in the game HUD copies
the URL to share. A spectator who opens the URL before the match starts
sees a "game not started yet" waiting room.

Frontend (from web/), with the backend running on :8080:
cd web

Trunk proxies /api, /auth and /ws to 127.0.0.1:8080 (see
web/Trunk.toml). For the login redirect to land back on the dev server,
run the backend with:
