What it is
This template samples the hidden cards and searches the rest of the deal, which is exact once the stock is empty.
How you use it
Unzip, serve the folder and open index.html, then edit game.js; npm test plays it again in headless Chrome.
Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with a smoke test whose bot plays it.
Use it when
Built for
Dealing, legal cards, tricks, drawing and scoring are pure functions on a small deal object, so the table, the computer players and the endgame search all use exactly the same rules.
Cards the rival has shown (a marriage partner, the exchanged trump) stay in their hand; the rest are dealt at random from the unseen cards, and each candidate card is scored by alpha-beta over those samples.
Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.
A headless Chrome test loads the game, checks the console, presses keys and taps, and lets the built-in bot play a run to its result screen.
