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 ðĪŠ 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 âïļ
- Play with chips ð°
- Chat ðŽ
- Pin protect ð
- Custom deck options ð
- Mobile & desktop friendly ðą
We hope you enjoy this project as much as we have!

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 ð
That's a great idea, I will add this feature to the list of enhancments.
