Creating a new Game

From Screentop.gg, access your games by selecting your avatar in the upper-right corner.

Create a new game by selecting Create.

When you select an existing game, you can choose:

  • Edit to define a template that sets the available components, behaviors and start state for when you choose to Play a game.
  • Play to create a new instance of the game (a “Room”) that can be shared with other players. Changes made while playing the game do not affect the template at all.

Editing a Game

In Edit mode, these are the most common items that you’ll need to update in the left page:

  • Components: Add and define the elements of your game, including boards, cards, dice, and tokens. See Adding Components 🎲.
  • Assets: Upload image files that can be used to set the appearance of components. See Adding Assets & Variants 🖼️.
  • Seats: Add seats to increase the maximum number of players and/or add a seat in an Admin role.

After selecting any of the options above, select the + button to add a new item.

Use the breadcrumbs at the top of the left pane to navigate back to a previous page:

Components are the templates for the individual objects that players will manipulate in your game. Once you’ve defined a component, you can add one or more instances of that component to the game; these are called Objects in Screentop. Select the Treasure Chest icon in the upper-right corner to add objects to your playing surface.
