Support for 2d card games

I would like to use Roblox to implement a card game (long story on why Roblox: I am aware there are other platforms).
Requirements:

  1. Standard card game fu: easy to create a deck, shuffle, deal/draw. Notion of cards “in hand” which are not visible to others. Card can be played/positioned on the board.
  2. Played cards snap to a grid, and can be rotated.
  3. Cards can be non-standard shape (e.g. hexagonal) and have custom images.
    4, Players can freely adjust z-index of played cards, effectively playing a card partially overlaying/tucked under another card.

I am familiar enough with Roblox that I could build this myself, it’s just a non-trivial amount of work.
I am wondering in particular about points 1 and 2: I feel like this might be a Solved Problem, like some other enterprising soul out there has made some kind of library or shared resource to standard card-fu in Roblox (like here’s a deck of cards, here’s standard card operations, go ahead and play your own game).

If you know of such a resource, please ping me back.

This is one of the things AI is good for.. Not programming, but finding links to help you research deeper.. I’m looking at 12 such resources from one input.. “Find me card resources for Roblox”.
I never ask AI what it thinks of anything.. I just ask it to find me links, so I can research for myself.
