Crab & Coconuts

Play online here: http://crabandcoconuts.herokuapp.com/ (Please wait for the Heroku server to start up)

An online adaption of the bluffing based board game called Skull & Roses, but redesigned because ✧ crabs are cool ✧

Introduction

Inspired by other online adaptions of popular board games, I went ahead and created my own. Crab & Coconuts involves placing down Skulls (in my version Crabs) or Roses (Coconuts), and winning points (Pearls) by reading your friends' bluffs. The game uses Socket.IO to allow real-time, bidirectional communication between the server and clients in order to continually update the game state.

The official rules are here.
