javascript - node.js throws error when I try to require local module

Question

Where am I going wrong while requiring a local module? Below are my code snippets for requiring a local module. I have placed the game.js file in the following path /public/javascript/game.js whereas the app.js is being placed in the following path /app.js

//game.js
let players = [];
let selectedPlayers = [];
let remainingPlayers = 11;

for(var i=0; i<2; i++){
  players.push($(".card > button").eq(i).attr("value"));
}

exports.players = players;

//app.js
const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const mySql = require("mySql");
const game = require("./game");

const app = express();

app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get("/play", function(req, res){
  res.render("PlayGame");
  console.log(game.players);
});

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, function(req, res){
  console.log("Listening on port 3000");
});

When I run this, I get the following error in my terminal

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module './game'

They are not on the same folder, so your require must be:"

const game = require("./public/javascript/game");
