I built a free Mus game you can play in Euskara, and I could use help getting the Basque right

Kaixo denoi.

I spent the last months building a Mus game that runs in the browser: free, nothing to install, and you play against three computer players, including a partner who gives you the signs. It's in Euskara, Spanish, French and English, and it works on a phone.

The reason I'm posting isn't really to show it off. It's that the Basque version is the part I'm least sure about, and this is the one place where people can tell me what's wrong with it.

Two things I'd genuinely like help with:

  1. The Euskara. The announcements, the phase names, the interface. Some of it comes from written sources rather than from a table, and written Basque and table Basque are not the same thing. If anything reads stiff or plain wrong, I'd rather hear it.
  2. The signs. I used one set: biting your lip for two kings, sticking your tongue out for two aces, a wink for 31, one side of the mouth for medias, both sides for duples, raising your eyebrows for game. I know this varies by quadrilla, by town, by Euskal Etxea. How do you do them where you play? If there's a common variant I'm missing, I'll add it as an option.

Same for the rules: it plays four kings, no equivalences, 40 points, which is what I was told is standard for learning. If your club plays differently, I'd like to know.

It's my own project, so take my opinion of it for what it's worth.

Eskerrik asko.
