<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm not sure what to suggest. No,
there is no existing feature like what you suggest. I have found
it quite pleasant to work with sources and widgets connected to
them. And it is even better to use higher-level abstractions like
in <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://upo.csail.mit.edu/">UPO</a>
(itself likely not applicable to your card game).<br>

The form mechanism is excellent, with the built in type
checking, but the submit action function returns a page:
state -> transaction page.<br>
<br>
Is there such a thing such as a version of forms that has
a submit action function with a type of: state ->
transaction unit.<br>
<br>
This is so I can call rpc functions there in the submit
action and then the current page is updated using
responses over a channel from the server.<br>
