[Java] MrJack text based videogame

MrJack is a nice boardgame for two players, an inspector and a thief, that take alternating actions trying to win within 8 turns. A full game takes 30 minutes to one hour usually.

The game features an hexagonal board with different cell types and 8 character tokens, each with a unique ability.

Players must carefully plan each move since luck is not the main factor in their success.

You can find FAQ, rules and reviews about it on boardgamegeek.

I propose a videogame implementation which is text based and uses ASCII art to represent the board, prompting players for actions via command line.

The first version 1.0.0 is fully playable and can be run as a Java application. You can find the full description as well as the source code in mrjack repository on my Github.

I am NOT affiliated with HurricanGames and/or the creators of the board game and do NOT own copyrights to the game.
