What this is

Zaragata is a party game for adults. A phone reads the cards you have tagged, a character reads the rule out loud, and the table plays whatever game it was already playing with those rules on top. Playing is free and needs no account.

An account exists for one reason: writing. If you want to publish a deck, keep favourites, or use the workshop, you sign in. Nobody at your table has to.

Who wrote what

Rules and decks in the library are written by the people whose name is on them. They are not ours, we do not check every one before it appears, and a deck saying something is not us saying it. If a deck is yours, you keep it: you can change it, fork someone else's, or delete your own whenever you like.

Write about your own friends, not about strangers. Do not publish somebody's name, photo or private business without asking them, and do not publish anything you do not have the right to publish.

When we take something down

We will remove a deck, a rule, or an account when it breaks these terms or the law. When we do, we record the reason, and the reason is shown to whoever wrote it: open the deck and it says what happened and why. A suspended account is told the reason when it tries to sign in.

If you think we got it wrong, write to us at the address below and say so. A person reads that mail.

Eighteen and over

This is an adult party game and the writing in it can be crude. You have to be eighteen or over to play, to write, or to hold an account. We ask once, on the first screen, and we take your word for it.

Reporting and blocking

Anywhere you can see a deck, a rule, an author or a live room, there is a way to report it: pick a reason, add a sentence if you want, and send. You do not need an account to report a room you are sitting in. We read every report and act on the ones that need it.

You can also block an author. Their decks leave your library and you will not be offered them again. Blocking is between you and your own shelf; the person you blocked is never told.

The room is the host's

A game night is a room somebody opened. The host can lock it with a word, and can clear it and start again, which sends everybody back out. We keep the evening only while it is running: the room, the cards played at it and anything the host offered the table are deleted within a day.

Reaching us

Write to [email protected], about anything at all: a report, a takedown you disagree with, a legal notice, or a question. More ways to reach us are on the contact page.

The legal corner

We offer this service as it is. We keep it running as well as we can, and we do not promise that a game night will never be interrupted.

Governing law and jurisdiction: to be confirmed.

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will say so here before the change takes effect.
