CardWords is a crossword-style game that is played on a table using cards that bear characters.
One of the best features of Cardwords is its ability to be customized to any language using latin-1 characters. This is made possible by editing text files, and the game also allows users to customize the set of cards, the card-table, and rules for bonus and penalty points.
When playing this game, it is essential to have the following requirements to enjoy its full functionality: the Gtk--(>=1.2.1) and Gtk+(>=1.2.6) libraries, the Gnu c++ compiler g++ 2.95, Gnu m4, and standard unix utilities (sed, cut, ...).
The latest release of Cardwords has introduced several improvements, including the use of automake/autoconf, renaming the former README to userguide, and applying a Patch from Falk Hueffner that allows cardwords to compile on 64bit-Linuxes. Overall, Cardwords is a fantastic game that offers a great blend of challenge, customization, and social gaming interaction.
