feat: NFC tag support for player joining #448

Description

Feature Request

Allow players to join a game by tapping an NFC tag instead of scanning a QR code — useful for permanent installations or larger gatherings with designated play areas.

How it works:

  • NFC tag stores the game join URL (same as QR code)
  • Player taps tag with phone → browser opens → instantly in the game
  • Tags can be pre-configured for specific player names or roles

Use cases:

  • Permanent game station at home (NFC tag on the TV stand)
  • Party table setup with individual NFC coasters
  • Kids who find QR scanning difficult

Implementation: No backend changes needed — just a URL encoded on the NFC tag. Could provide a helper in the UI to generate and write NFC tags.
