Carcassone board-game brought online

Carcassonne

Carcassone board-game brought online.

If you don't know what carcassonne is, visit us at carcassonne.online (and remember to bring friends!).

How do I host it?

This is only the client code, the server code is hosted here.

In our production server a nginx webserver hosts the files and routes websocket requests to carcasssonne-server. To select where you want your websocket to connect you can edit configurations in your .env file.

How do I build it?

In order to build the client you only need Node.js (preferably >= 18.x).

After you've cloned the repository, install the node.js dependencies:

npm install .

Then you have to copy .env.example into .env and if needed configure the fields as you like.

Build the game files:

npx webpack --mode production

Once built carcassonne's game files can be found under the ./dist directory. The generated files have to be statically served by a webserver such as Apache or nginx.

Why did you create it?

In our lonely quarantine days we wanted to play with our friends but we found no game like carcassonne available online, so we started creating it! If you want to help us make more games like this available do not hesitate to contact any of the devs (opening a issue or finding us on a social network) or consider donating!

Graphics

All of the graphics has been made by Giorgia Nizzoli. Without her we couldn't make this game so enjoyable and user friendly.

Privacy

The server does not host anything and we use no cookies, we are only using google analytics for statistics. The connection is not P2P though (although there are plans to implement that) so any data that you send trough he server ca be easily read by the server. In future versions we plan to use WebRTC to distribute the gameplay load.

Game Logic

The client handles all of the game logic, the server only knows what's the avatar like. This has been designed to ease client implementation and to support multiple game protocols when needed.

Thanks

We must also thank all of our friends that have been silently used as alpha testers.
