Recommend a Java / Android Game Library - card, board, etc.?

Hi all!

My dev team and I are looking to do a game in Android, instead of iPhone for our next sprint iteration. We've been tweaking with GeekGameBoard (which we love), and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a similar game library for Java / Android-esque.

We're not looking for OpenGL
We're looking for Board Game / Card Game (engine or code framework)
Also, open-source preferable.

Any advice?

Best, Dom

+2 A:

Mages is the only one I could find that isn't focused on OpenGL. If you are planning a multiplayer game, its worth checking out.

Thanks! This looks... amazing. I didn't realize it but, yes it'd be great to push for multiplayer, client-server relationships.I also found this:http://www.13thmonkey.org/~boris/jgame/But I think Mages is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

What did you end up going with? One of these, or something else?

We tried out both Mages and jGame. We actually built a quiz game from scratch and then two professional jobs in iPhone + Android so investigation halted for a bit. I think we liked Mages a lot though.

Thanks. I'm looking to do a casino-type game in android and was just looking around to see what was available.
