Whot! is the national card game of Nigeria. It is played by young and old, and has come to be associated with fond memories, by me and a lot of people I know. Read More

This is a JS Library that will facilitate the Nigerian Whot! Game Play.

I have started this project because I hope someone else builds a beautiful UI/UX around it (cos I can't).

I also want to play this game with my friends and family from my phone and laptop, and experience the same amount of fun I did playing it as a child.

npm install whot

const Game = require('whot')

const game = new Game({
    noOfDecks: 1, //number of card decks to be used
    noOfPlayers: 4
})

You can subscribe to the events that the Game instance offers via its emitter property.

To play a card:

const player = game.turn.next()

if (player.canPlay()) {
    /** pick a random card from the player's hand */
    const compatibleCardIndex = player.hand()
                                .findIndex(card => card.matches(game.pile.top()))
    player.play(compatibleCardIndex)
    game.turn.execute(game.pile.top())
}
else {
    const marketCards = player.pick()
    game.turn.switch()
}
