Problem Statement

Currently, interfaces for card games generally only support playing one type of game. We want to create an interface that supports playing a generic card game by allowing users to manipulate the cards independently of the rules and restrictions of any particular type of game. Instead, the users enforce the rules amongst themselves. This will allow the interface to support a wide range of games, as well as the ability to easily switch between playing multiple types of games. We want to design the interface to emphasize the following:

  •  Interface elements are not tailored to any specific game, but kept as generic as possible. Most card games, including ones that we have not heard of before, should be playable with the interface.
  •  Interface has a consistent look and feel that is well suited to most types of card games.
  •  Tasks commonly found in card games should be efficient.
  •  The interface should be quickly learnable and highly intuitive.
  •  Switiching between different games should be doable in a few seconds.
