## Proposed Schema

Table
  has_many Seats
    User
  has_many Games
    players from seats.users
  has_one :current_game

## Game Lifecycle

Start
Player Turns
First place finish
Second place finish
Third place finish
Start new game with existing players
  - Provide button for player to leave before new game starts
  - If less than max players, button to vote to "wait for more players"

## Feature Ideas

- Invite friends to current table
- Address link to current table
- Show winner of previous game
- User stats
- Table stats
- In game currencies
- Tournaments

## Bot players

Essential:

- Play valid hands
- Pass

Nice to have:

- Skill level setting
- AI based on skill level

## Extra suits

> R. Wayne Schmittberger, in his classic game design primer New Rules for
> Classic Games (1992), describes how you can make your own six-suited
> deck. Obtain two standard decks with the same backs. Set one aside, and
> take the Hearts and Diamonds from the second. Draw an arrow through each
> Heart with a permanent black marker to make a suit of Valentines, and
> draw an 'X' through each Diamond to make a Kites suit. Shuffle these two
> new suits together with the deck you set aside, and presto! a six-suited
> Schmittberger deck! (Of course, you can remove either Kites or
> Valentines to create a five-suited deck like the Stardeck.)
