Firemox

Firemox is a free and open-source program that offers a broad range of card games to play against an opponent across a network. This could be over the Internet or a LAN, or even alone. One of the most significant advantages of this game is that gameplay is implemented and regulated by the program. Risky disputes are avoided as judges' tasks are expected to be done by the software.

Currently, network play is supported with an IP address from your adversary. However, with the upcoming client/server option, hosting and connecting to game servers will be made straightforward. The game primarily operates on Magic: The Gathering, yet it is flexible enough to accommodate rules for other card games.

Firemox's standout feature is its ability to parse game rules that are defined in a human-readable XML file. MP picks up these rules files and often determines turn structure, card types, colors, and more to keep a fair game for both parties. This means that cheating is entirely eliminated for fair gameplay. Also, to ensure that no player forgets anything during the game, Firemox provides regular reminders as all rules are managed by MP.
