# XMage - Magic, Another Game Engine
XMage allows you to play Magic against one or more online players or computer opponents. It includes full rules enforcement for over **10,000** unique cards (nearly 20,000 counting all cards from different editions). Starting with Eventide, all regular sets have nearly all the cards implemented ([detailed overview](http://ct-magefree.rhcloud.com/stats)).
There are public servers where you can play XMage against other players. You can also host your own server to play against the AI and/or your friends.
You can visit the XMage forum [here](http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=70).
