scoping out the competition...

I just ran across this project, looks interesting.  Haven't downloaded
it yet, but I thought I'd forward it in case anyone else wants to
investigate.

Hi folks!  I just finished an engine that facilitates the creation of
online board games.  I wrote this to allow me to prototype and test
original board games but it can be used for other purposes as well.
(playing games)  I've found it useful so maybe some of you will find
it useful as well.

You can find it here:

Features include:

* The code is 100% java so it can run on Linux, OSX, and Windows.

* All code is open source under the GNU general public license.  It's
  also free as in beer.

* p2p client network model: no dedicated host is required.
