Sheepshead is a work-in-progress implementation of the german trick-taking game Schafkopf, that runs inside your browser and supports multiple real-time game sessions with four human players.
To get the game running, you need a recent version of Node.js.
You can download the latest development version here. Unzip it to a location of your choice and run:
node --experimental-modules sheepshead-master/web/index.mjs
Once the server is up an running open your browser and visit: http://localhost:8090/
The server uses environment variables for its configuration. All settings are optional and default to the documented values.
The server can be launched on an arbitrary port. This setting is optional an defaults to 8090
.
Example:
env PORT='8080' node --experimental-modules sheepshead-master/web/index.mjs
The server can be launched with a base URI. This may be useful when running behind a reverse proxy. This setting is optional, no base URI is used when omitted.
Example:
env BASE='/sheep' node --experimental-modules sheepshead-master/web/index.mjs
