Scroll Rack is a virtual tabletop on which you can play card games against other people over a network.

Scroll Rack was designed to simulate the Magic: The Gathering (R) game, but it can be expanded to simulate other games.

It supports two-player peer-to-peer mode, and client/server mode for multi-player games and tournaments.

Here are some key features of "Scroll Rack":
Open source.
Support planned for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Can download card images from www.wizards.com and display them on the virtual tabletop.
Clients can connect directly (peer-to-peer) or through a server run by a third party.
Peer-to-peer games use encryption to prevent players from seeing cards they aren't allowed to see.
Peer-to-peer games use Jabber so both players can be behind firewalls.
Client/server games support any number of players and watchers.
Supports Living Wish (move card from sideboard to hand).
Supports Battle of Wits (very large decks).
