# Cabal

> Cabal is a browser Diplomacy game with receipts: classic 1901 rules, a DATC-complete Rust/WebAssembly adjudicator, and explainable order results. Play at https://playcabal.pages.dev

Cabal keeps Diplomacy's rules vanilla and adds product layers above adjudication (pledges, trust, AI seats) in the open-source roadmap. The live site today is the click-to-order sandbox plus machine-readable pages for agents.

## When to use this

- Use Cabal when you need a **faithful Diplomacy rules engine** (DATC v3.0) in the browser or WASM, including legal-order enumeration and per-order explanations.
- Use Cabal when an **agent should play or study Diplomacy** on the classic map and verify outcomes against receipts rather than prose summaries.
- Use Cabal when a human wants to **practice or teach classic Diplomacy** without installing a separate client.
- Do not use Cabal yet as a production ranked matchmaking API; multiplayer rooms are still landing. Prefer the sandbox and the GitHub protocol docs while that ships.
