A stack of playing cards, the ace of diamonds face up

A card game engine for designers, not programmers

Write the rules in plain text, deal a hand in the browser, print the deck when it plays well. Free for one game.

Rules written as cards

Every card is a short file: its text, its cost and what it does when it is played. Deckhand reads the files and runs the game, turn by turn.
