Press-Your-Luck!

A score tracker for Flip 7, the press-your-luck card game by USAopoly. Live at press-your-luck.me.

Why this exists

I love Flip 7. The group I play with loves it too. But the official scoring web app has a handful of rough edges — duplicate rows when you add a 5th player, no support for negative scores, no persistence if you refresh — and the layout never felt right on a phone, which is where we mostly play.

So I set myself a challenge: build a better one, free for anyone to use. This is it.

If anyone from the team at Flip 7 / USAopoly stumbles on this and likes it, the code is yours — fork it, take ideas from it, ship the whole thing, whatever works for you.

What's in it

• Add players with 3-letter initials, score round by round
• Live ranking with a crown for the leader
• Per-round limits (max 200, min −18 — matches the actual rules)
• A one-tap Bust button per round
• Pop-up calculator with the "decimals round down" house rule baked into Copy
• In-app Rules & FAQ reference (Original + With a Vengeance)
• "Who deals first?" randomiser
• Proper tie handling — if two players cross 200 in the same round, you keep playing until one pulls ahead
• Three themes × light/dark, picked by you and remembered
• Everything persists locally — refresh, close the tab, come back tomorrow

Tech

React 18 + Vite. No backend, no analytics, no tracking. State lives in localStorage. Hosted on Netlify.

Running locally

npm install
npm run dev       # http://localhost:5173
npm run build     # production build → dist/
npm run preview   # preview the built dist/ locally

Node 20+ recommended.

Deploying your own copy

Cheapest path is what I did:

1. Fork this repo (or clone and push to your own remote)
2. Sign in to Netlify → Add new site → Import from Git → pick the repo
3. Netlify reads netlify.toml and pre-fills everything. Hit Deploy.
4. Domain management → Add custom domain → follow the DNS instructions at your registrar
5. Netlify auto-provisions a Let's Encrypt cert once DNS resolves

Every push to main triggers a fresh deploy. PR branches get unique preview URLs.
