    We'll need WebSocket support, and once again there's a Unity package that we can use to help us out. Go to Window -> Package Manager to bring up the dialog and 'Add from git URL' using the NativeWebSocket (repo) GitHub URL https://github.com/endel/NativeWebSocket.git#upm.

    This might be a bit of an issue. Basically there are many viable ways to network with Unity, but there is no good "official" Unity network stack. For example if you have a browser game, you won't be quite able to use UDP based network libraries. You could either use regular http requests then or WebSockets. For the later I had good experiences with https://github.com/endel/NativeWebSocket . However, I wouldn't say any of that network stuff is particularly beginner friendly if you just start out.

    I ended up with the NativeWebsocket library for client websocket work. All the other libraries I tried either were terrible to use, defaulted to TLS1.0 without an option to configure, or have been long dead. This one was great!

    Unity is certainly a good engine for a card game, but if you want to run the game in a browser (WebGL), it can be hard to get multiplayer to work since you can't use UDP libraries from what I know. A possible solution for this is here: https://github.com/endel/NativeWebSocket
