Nice implementation. Out of curiosity, how are you handling multiplayer state sync?

For a board game like this I’d imagine sending move events and letting clients recompute the board locally rather than syncing the whole board every turn. Curious what approach you took.

You can look at the repo to find out the details.

Essentially sending moves over web socket and the server having authority to accept/reject them to prevent cheating moves. Client updates optimistically and rolls back if server rejects/network times out etc.
