Create an online card game with this virtual deck of cards. Have each game instantly available to play with friends or family with any modern web browser.

Hello Hunters, A year ago, my wife and I had the idea for this project when we forgot to bring a deck of cards while we were on vacation. We searched for a platform that would let us play any game we wanted but didn't find anything suitable that allowed us to customize the card game. There are hundreds of options to play a specific card game, but nothing available when you want to play Gin Rummy one minute and Crazy 8s the next. Also, a lot of people we know, including our family, have a variation of a game that isn't quite by the rule book. This allows you to set up your game to include your particular "family rules"! So, with 2020 being crazy 🤪 and more time inside, we got to work and came up with https://deckofcards.net Simply create a game and share the url or game ID with your friends or family. Features: - No download - Simple UI - Up to 6 players - Keep score ✏️ - Play with chips 💰 - Chat 💬 - Pin protect 🔒 - Custom deck options 🃏 - Mobile & desktop friendly 📱 We hope you enjoy this project as much as we have! Matt

I absolutely love this! It looks like you wrote almost all code yourself (not using a framework) and are using websockets and jQuery to make it all work. That is respectable. Any reason you didn't go with something like Vue or React? I would love to collaborate on the code because I'm missing just one feature to play my favourite game. That is; the option to deal x amount of cards to a player blind. So, you get 3 face-down card and 6 cards in hand.

@jwktje Thanks! To answer your question... to be honest I was flip flopping on using canvas or the dom and then decided to do an old school front end with a modern serverless backend... a mullet of sorts 😉 That's a great idea, I will add this feature to the list of enhancments.

Hey Matt - this looks cool, nice work! I'm going to introduce this to my weekly poker group. Thanks for taking the time to share with the community!

@jordan_lunetta Fantastic, thank you very much!
