Real Life is Kivo played together in the same room, each on their own phone. That phones-only table is the full experience — you do not need a TV.
TV Mode is an optional extension: when you connect a TV or large screen, it becomes the shared public board while each player keeps private cards and actions on their phone.
Guests still join with a QR code or room code in the browser — no account required. The host can play on phone only or add a TV when it helps the table see the action.
