Playing a card game on an online meeting
-
Some time ago I found interesting gamification of something that we should do at work. Specifically, the Elevation of Privilege game from Microsoft. It involves a deck of special cards—provided as PDF to be printed out—and some rules that involve:
- dealing cards
- playing the cards (to central heap, like bridge)
- passing cards around
- scoring based on whether a move is accepted by others
- the cards are strange number (2–10JQKA like bridge, but five suits and one of them lacks a 2)
I thought about having one or two sets printed out, but now with the coronocalypse in full swing an in-person meeting is out of all questions. So I am thinking whether it would be possible to play a game over an online, in our case Teams, meeting.
Does anybody have an idea how?

@Bulb it's definitely possible in the sense you could code it up from scratch and setup a game server. The real question is how to do it with the least effort.
I'm sure there are some open source card game frameworks you could use. I never used any, but I'm sure there are some, of typical open source quality.

Also this guide that's based on everyone having a copy which shouldn't be that difficult as it's on PDF.
How to play EoP and Cornucopia remotely
Elevation of Privilege and OWASP Cornucopia are great games to help software delivery teams to be more aware of threat models and actively seek out specific threats.Many of the advantages of the game are cognitive or psychological and we believe that playing the game with physical cards plays to...

There's also at least one followup video on the same channel, but my initial google didn't turn it up.
