Multiplayers online game (MMO) | Architecture | Learning Path

I want to learn game development.

I'm coming from Web, Desktop and Mobile Applications. where is no really REAL-TIME programming.

And all architecture templates and life cycles is very different. Now I have 1 idea for game. I don't know if this will very good game, but for first game my main goal is - Get experience

My game is online game with 2 players. The players has cards (like in Clash Royal) and will player release the card - game need to do something.

Now question is in Architecture.... In applications that I made - all business logic was on SERVER SIDE.......... But If i understand right - here is Game on Players phone do all business logic..and server is just "message provider" ??

The second question is - If I have to use online service (like Photon) or build my TCP/UDP server.. (Its not so hard and for first game I think I can do it by myself)

UPDATED:

The main question what is resources I need to read for get more information about type of Architectures in Game Dev?

Thank you for your answers.

There is no RIGHT ANSWER for your question, as there are many ways to do an on-line game, and everyone have their pros and cons, like:

Host & Clients, where one of the players is acting like a server. Authoritary Server, where all the logic is calculated on one side, and then update the others.

If you are working on Unity I recommend you to look the different network api's over there: Photon, Unet...

You can use the server services that Unet provides, or build your own system.

But one advise: don't mess with physics on on-line games, will be punishing.
