It misses a videocall option.

Also, it doesn't enforce who's turn it is.



> Also, it doesn't enforce who's turn it is.

I think this could actually be a feature. In a real game, the players self-enforce the turns, and when someone gets distracted and plays out of turn, it's hilarious to banter while setting things straight again. Of course that would need the videocall part.


You bring your own! Which IMHO makes it even better.

You can tell your opponent ‘oi your turn!’ using your preferred platform.


A few years back there was this great platform for playing Magic: The Gathering, which didn't enforce anything at all and it was still great. Even did a few tournaments using it.

As long as all the moves are logged, you can enforce the rules by yelling at people.


Magic Workstation?

Magic does have the problem that sometimes, in specific edge cases, players can disagree about what should happen based on the rules. It's hard to come to consensus via the yelling at people protocol.

But I do agree it was great. And free.


Oops forgot to mention the name, it was Apprentice.
