Poken

A poker game on Token.

Feedback on Token Starter App

Need an ORM built in (we integrated in Sequelize, feel free to copy code)
Need a higher level library, rather than low-level calls (see our sample functions in src/bot.js)
Need a test harness that allows rapid development and testing without hitting Token Server (allows rapid development, and doesn't require Token to be working)
