- With Magic
It’s not a bug, it’s a microservice mesh that we virtualized using WebAssembly and hope since it worked in staging, allegedly. - And a lot of AI
No one asked, but we serverless lambda spaghetti a autotagged with the wrong taxonomy just to align with imaginary compliance needs.
- Board game.
- Let's leave the phones home and go back to play like in Mesopotamia. Because analog is the new retro.
- With friends.
- Play with friends and work colleagues while you have them.
- Win.
- Nothing else matters. It's you against the market. Don't let them have any funding and hang them dry.
- Cloud agnostic.
- Do you use one of the big clouds? None of them? No worries, PLAI is designed to be local-first and resillient to cloud downtimes.
- Privacy.
- It's your game so you decide how to plai. Our cards respect your privacy and have no trackers within.
- A box.
- Unlike laptops, computers and servers, we provide a box you'll want to use most of the time to store the cards away.
