Solitaire game with others watching over websockets?

Yes, just set numPlayers to 1 and it should work. To have others spectate, use multiplayer: true when creating the client, set playedID = "0" on the client that is actually playing, and have other clients connect without a playerID.

There is an example to do just this in the repository. Have a look!

@gk-patel The /join endpoint is only for active players when they first join a game. Spectators should use the /games/:name/:id endpoint (source).
