I got really excited to play a custom card game with my friends who are spread across the world. Was looking to see how I can add my own game, but when I downloaded the app to try out some sample games, I see that all the players have to be connected to the same WiFi. Does this mean the app is only for games played in person but on phone?

Maybe try some sort of private VPN/LAN network tool?

I remember back in the day I used to use Hamachi to play Xbox LAN with my friends in different universities.

Check out playingcards.io or VirtualTableTop. These do exactly that, although the interface is a bit cumbersome on mobile
Yes, for now, it supports only the local network. But... I think I can deploy server to make it online as well
That'd be amazing!
