## What it is
A Godot Engine framework providing pre-built scenes, classes, and a scripting engine for creating card games with full rules enforcement. It handles typical card game behaviours like drag-and-drop, hands, piles, targeting, tokens, animations, and includes a card library and deck builder.

## Use cases
- build a card game in godot
- create a trading card game prototype
- add rules enforcement scripting to a digital card game
- make a deck builder ui for a card game
- implement drag and drop cards on a game table
- start a tcg project without coding card mechanics from scratch

## When to choose
- you are building a card game in Godot and want pre-built card, hand, pile, and table behaviour
- you want automated rules enforcement via a text-based scripting engine
- you need a card library and deck builder out of the box
- you want an AGPL free-software framework you can extend

## When to avoid
- your game is not a card game
- you use an engine other than Godot
- you want to avoid AGPL-3.0 licensing obligations
- you have no familiarity with coding or Godot
