Poker Menteur

Bluff with dice under the hat, around the table or online

Liar's dice poker (9 through Ace) as a web app you can install on your phone. There are three ways to play: one phone passed around, with an animated top-down table where the hat travels from player to player and tokens (pebbles, matches, beans); against the computer; or online, with public or private rooms, chat, spectators and a time limit per turn. All sounds are synthesized (the clatter of the hat, the "ta-da" when you lift it), and you can shake the phone to mix and throw tomatoes or flowers at the other players.

What shines

  • 46 commits in two days: from pure rules (a DOM-free game.js) to a synchronized online game
  • Animated round table: the hat passes from player to player, lifts, shakes when you mix; dice slide from the hat onto the table
  • Full Firebase online play: public rooms or private ones with a key, chat, spectators, turn timer, presence (onDisconnect), transactions, cleanup of abandoned rooms
  • 100% synthesized Web Audio sound: rattling dice, wooden knocks of the hat, a brass chord, no audio files
  • "Face" dice drawn like playing cards (King, Queen, Jack) or with letters, your choice

How to use it

New game → choose the players → Shake the hat, look at your dice, make your call and pass the phone; or "Play online" for a room with others
