Specifications and source code for a Java based card game engine.

Game rules are specified in a rules..txt file. The rules must specify the correct deck and board files to be used. The game engine will then dynamically create all necessary components to play the game, with game play following the rules file. See plugin/PluginKeyword for list of known Plugin keywords.

##Licensing The MIT License (MIT). See LICENSE.txt.

##To Do

• Add engine operations
• Create rules for additional games

• Reading rules to create CardDealer - initially deal cards to piles
• Engine capable of reading conditions and performing actions
