At the Table in 30 Seconds
No getting lost in menus — everything is one click away:
- Reserve Your Table: Hit the Create Arena button in the lobby.
- Send the Invite: Fire the private link (or that slick 4-digit code) over to your friend on WhatsApp.
- Turn On the Camera: The moment your friend clicks the link, you're at the table. It's your move!
What's Allowed on Rovian?
- You Set the Clock: Panic at lightning speed or think it over while you sip your coffee — the control is yours.
- Rematches Are a Must: No knocking over the pieces and bailing when the game ends. Swap colors with one click and start your revenge match.
- The Chat Never Stops: Video and audio stay on the whole time. Silence is for tournaments; on Rovian you're free to talk, joke and laugh all game long.
Frequently asked questions
Does my friend need an account too?
Yes, but no fuss. They click the link you send and can join Rovian (completely free) and sit across from you within seconds.
Does this invite code expire?
Your private room is reserved for a short while. The match starts when your friend takes their seat; if no one shows up, the table gets cleared.
Will my Elo drop if I lose?
Absolutely not! There's no rating stress in private rooms. These games are pure friendly matches. The loser only loses their pride (and probably the next round of coffee).
