Note: I feel that I have made this too ambitious, so I archived this project in January 2024. You are welcome to use this code elsewhere or to continue development.

This is planned to be a free and open source cross-platform Java card and board game compendium program. I am still working on the basic structure, but the following games are planned for its initial release:

1. Backgammon
2. Bridge
3. Canasta
4. Checkers
5. Chess
6. Chinese Checkers/Halma
7. Crazy Eights
8. Cribbage
9. Dominoes (block and draw games, all spinner rules)
10. Go
11. Hearts
12. Janggi
13. Mancala
14. Ninety-nine (the trick-taking game)
15. Old Maid
16. Reversi
17. Rummy
18. Shōgi
19. Spades
20. Whist
21. Xiàngqí

I am open to adding more games over time (ludo, tarot/tarock, etc.) but I think this is a good set of games to start with.

Feel free to chip in if you'd like to help! Please read the contributing guidelines before you begin. I also have two similar projects for different categories of games, FreeCasino and FreeSolitaire; this project often shares code with the other two.

This is a Maven project; therefore, you will need Maven to build the program.
