A game for studying multiple goal pursuit

Our project looks at how people choose actions to complete different goals. To study this, we wish to develop a game in which players place cards in rows: each row corresponds to a goal, and placing enough cards in a row achieves that goal see the visual mock-up below. Please note that these images are not licensed for distribution, and are just for illustration.

We wish to develop an online study (a web app) implementing this game. The game should be playable by 2 people, who would take turns placing cards. The client-side implementation should be in javascript (we require that people can play this game in their browser), and the server-side infrastructure would be decided through negotiation with the team (preferably a python implementation, javascript such as node.js, or an existing database we are using, JATOS. The app would need to be written to be extensible in future (i.e., we'd prefer to make progress with well-structured and well-documented code than have a complete app that is difficult to change in future), and would need to record various aspects of people's performance (their choices at each time step, and the time taken to make choices).
