How to get your whole company into one game in Anubis City — and what to do once everyone is there.
A private Hold’em table by link or code: setup, stakes, what to do if someone drops out, and home-game etiquette.
Read more →Anubis City is a free browser game where friends share one city on the Nile and sit at the same tables: Texas Hold’em, blackjack, European roulette, 75-ball bingo and slots. Add each other as friends and press “Go to friend” — the game takes you to wherever they are playing. For poker, open a private table and send its link.
There is nothing to install and nothing to pay. The chips are debens: you get 100,000 when you arrive, you cannot buy them or cash them out, and nobody at the table plays for real money. The game is for adults, 18+.
| Game | How you end up together | How many |
|---|---|---|
| Texas Hold’em, Temple of Fortune | A private table by link or code — or “Go to friend” to the open table they are at | up to 9 at a table |
| Blackjack, Hall of Thoth | “Go to friend” seats you at their table; AI players give up their boxes to people | 5 boxes |
| European roulette, Rotunda of Shai | “Go to friend” — the whole table bets on one wheel | up to 40 |
| Bingo, Hall of Seshat | “Go to friend” takes you into the same hall: the same balls for everyone | up to 40 |
| Slots, Treasury of Ra | One hall and one chat, but each of you spins your own machine | up to 40 |
It works the other way round too. Sitting at blackjack, click your friend in the Friends tab and choose “Invite here”: they get an invitation with a “Go” button. At a poker table the same button is called “Invite to the table”, and the seat is held for your friend for one minute — neither the AI nor “Quick game” can take it.
Meet at the fountain with Anubis the Guardian in the middle of the square; the map (the M key) shows where you are and where everyone else is. Click your friend’s character and choose “Add friend”. Once they accept, their name turns gold above their head and in the chat, and on the map they become a gold dot.
One copy of the city holds 40 people. When more come, the game opens a second copy, and two newcomers can land in different ones. Friends do not have this problem: when you come in, the game puts you where most of your friends are, and “Go to friend” moves you into their copy, right next to them. If you are not friends yet and cannot see each other, meet at a private poker table — its code works from any copy of the city.
One detail for newcomers: a guest can accept a friend request, but only a saved character can send one. Saving takes an email and a password, and the city adds 500,000 debens for it. If this is your first visit, start with how to play.
The chat rules are short: no insults, no spam, no selling debens. The rest of the house rules are on the community page.
In the city every character has ten emotes on the keys 1–0: Wave, Dance, Egyptian dance, Clap, Cheer, Laugh, Bow, Shrug, Think and Blow a kiss. Open a friend’s actions first and a wave, a bow or a kiss goes to them personally — they see “… waves to you”.
Under “Together” there are four emotes for two. High five and Bow to each other work with anyone, even with AI residents; Hug and Dance together are for friends only. The other person has to accept, then both characters turn to each other and move at the same moment. Emotes belong to the city — at the tables you talk in the chat.
Four friends, about two hours. The order matters less than one rule: start where you can talk, finish at the table that needs your full attention.
How a private table works step by step, which stakes to choose and what to do if someone drops out — in Poker with friends online.
