About this project

Two windows on one PC (TCP on 127.0.0.1), each player with their own run (money, jokers, deck, shop); the blind score is shared and the host picks blinds, skips and the boss. Options for shared hand levels, both skip tags to both, shared secret hands. Co-op state lives in the game save, so Continue works after a crash of either window. Lovely 0.9.0, no Steamodded; text in all 15 game languages. Bot suite of 9 scenarios with real game clients (restarts, tag stacks, out-of-hands), plus playtests to ante 8. MIT.
