## What it is
Archipelago is a multi-game randomizer framework and server that shuffles items across many supported games and links them into a single cooperative multiworld experience. It includes the randomizer generators, a host server, and an API for adding new games.

## Use cases
- play a multiworld randomizer with friends across different games
- generate a randomized seed for a supported game like Stardew Valley or Factorio
- host a multiworld server session for a group of players
- add multiworld randomizer support for a new game
- send items between players' games in real time during a race

## When to choose
- you want to play or host cross-game multiworld randomizer sessions
- you are developing a randomizer and want multiworld support out of the box
- you need a mature, actively maintained randomizer ecosystem with many supported games

## When to avoid
- your game is not on the supported list and you do not want to write an integration
- you need a single-game randomizer with no multiplayer component
- you want a graphical plug-and-play tool with zero setup for unsupported ROMs
