The Coffeehouse and the Contest Tent
How to sit down at a table game, join a contest, and what to ask the Tea Master.
The Coffeehouse
Enter through the coffeehouse door on the square. Backgammon, draughts, mancala and piลti are played at two-player tables, okey at a four-player table. The champions board on the wall shows the best players.
- Sit on an empty stool; the table opens and the game starts when your opponent arrives. The game is played in its own window, and you are shown seated in the coffeehouse.
- Those standing by the table are spectators; banter is fine, meddling with the dice isn't.
- Each table shows how many are seated and whether a game is on.
- Finishing a table game in the coffeehouse can be one of the day's tasks.
Click Ahmet the Tea Master by the samovar: he pours tea, shares the village news and explains how to sit at a table; ask "Any work today?" and he opens today's tasks on the board.
The Contest Tent
The home of question games. Click the tent on the square or Eฤlence to enter the lobby. The lobby has a door for each contest: Quiz, True/False, Guessing, Letter by Letter, Pictures, Team and Tournament. The number over a door shows how many are inside; the score board keeps the week's top ten.
- Enter a room; the question appears on the room's board.
- To answer, walk to the right area or click it; multiple-choice questions have A, B, C, D areas, true-false has two. For written questions you type the answer in the chat.
- When time runs out the right area glows green; points pop up over the heads of those who got it.
