Interesting idea. But I guess you should clarify what kind of card games you want to support. E.g, a DSL for trick taking games like Bridge, Skat or Doppelkopf might be different from one that's good for Canasta or Rummy. Or do you aim at Solitaire? I'd suggest starting with a very small scope of the domain for a very first version.

Hmm, good catch. I was thinking about solitaire, i.e. single player, games. Multiplayer card games certainly have their own set of interesting challenges. If I ever get to develop something capable of expressing nicely Patience, Spider, Pyramid and Black Hole I'll be more than satisfied :). Cheers, -- Felipe.
