Vassal PBEM/PBW engine
I’m intrigued by the VASSAL Game Engine.
VASSAL is a game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board games and card games. It allows users to play in real time over a live Internet connection (in addition to playing by email). It runs on all platforms, and is free for personal use.
The mixture of online/PBEM gives a flexibility I have not seen elsewhere. There are loads of games available – click the Module link on the VASSAL homepage to see them.
Would anyone like to try it with me? Suggest any game and I’ll consider it.
Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner…
.. that I love London Town.
Sorry to go off-topic, but I’m ecstatic London got the Olympics. I’ll have to get tickets for the rowing. I’ll be 40 in 2012 – blimey!
I’m sorry we had to go head-to-head with Paris. I am very fond of Paris and it’s a shame somone had to lose out.
