LAND OF GOLD - A Networked Board Game
This game is based on the board game I made called Land of Gold. The board game is a turn-based produce management tabeltop game where each player has a type of fantasy creature or plant that they farm to gain produce. This produce is given into the bank in exchange for money which can be used to buy different farming methods to increase produce. However, some of these farming methods are unethical such as battery farming dragons. This lowers the creature or plant’s happiness which has a large effect on a combat system very similar to risk.

Newtorking
The newtorking uses the entet networking library using tcp. This project uses a packet class and streaming operators to stream in data into a packet. These streaming operators are overloaded to take strings and card info and player info structs. The project also uses an enum to state what type of data being streamed in.
