AEG' Card of the Dead board game implementation in Kotlin.
This project was a nice brain exercise, partially initiated to cope with a growing anxiety during difficult times and partially to try a new field. It's written in Kotlin with bits of RxJava/RxKotlin and Kotest/MockK for tests. At the very first 0.1 version there's a console client implementation only (barely playable, tbh), with a firm plan to release a full-blown UI TornadoFX-based client in a future release.
The original board game was created by designer Motohiro Nakamura and artist Loïc Billiau, and published by AEG (abandoned link) in 2013. Game rulesheet is put within assets, and you can find more about the game here.
