For your use case (~10 peers) I wouldn't get bogged down with network plumbing. Use free solutions such as PeerJS, Xirsys, EasyRTC, etc. You can always open a Twilio account if you have a hit and need to scale.

That way you can start building immediately and get onto the hard stuff like managing global game state, handling dropped connections elegantly, network lag and prediction...

Good Luck ;)

Thanks for the informed reply!
