The BoardGame tool is a front end for programming custom boardgames. It features an easy and flexible interface to interact with the players and has transparent support for network or AI-controlled games. Through a clear XML interface, games elements can be specified. Using an easy-to-learn back-end language like Python for rule implementations makes it very easy to implement, adjust, or enhance rules that come with a game. The same back-end language can be used easily for simple or complex AI implementations.

It supports many types of games, but aims to eventually work with all games supported by qstat.
