Play board games with Vassal Engine!

TLDR

Vassal, an open-source game engine, enables remote play and prototyping of board and card games, proving invaluable for designers and gamers alike.

I stumbled on the VASSAL engine while looking to play the fantastic Pirates of the Spanish Main, found pirateswithben.com and he links to Vassal. Hopefully someone out there finds it as awesome as I have!
