Could you build this?

Partial The card-battle UI, hex map rendering, and game rules are vibe-codeable, but a live MMO needs authoritative real-time multiplayer servers, state sync, and anti-cheat that go beyond what vibe coding alone delivers reliably.

What it would actually take: A prototype can be built with a web client (canvas or WebGL hex map) and a WebSocket game server holding authoritative match state. A real MMO needs a scalable backend such as sharded game servers, persistence, matchmaking, and cheat-resistant server-side validation, plus game-design balancing and ongoing live operations. Those demand experienced multiplayer netcode and backend engineers.
