XMage - is an acronym for Extended - Magic, Another Game Engine
|
|
|
|
XMage is a client/server implementation of a popular CCG without the collecting part.
|

The server hosts games and enforces the rules. The client creates or joins games,

|
displays the current state of a game in progress and sends user events to the server.

You will need to have the Java Runtime Environment Version 7 or greater.
