This Application is written for the Windows PC Operating System Versions: 7, 8.x and 10 it is NOT intended to run on Windows 10S, tablets, phones or Surface, or any other devices.

Game Hub II consists of seven the traditional paper games, games played on paper.

Game Hub II also includes the ability to play 5 of the 7 games across a Local Area Network, in head-to-head competition for aditional entertainment.

Settings: There are only two settings that Game Hub II uses, those are font size, and an opponent name (Machine Name or IP Address). The opponent machine name or IP address is the only piece of information you will need to play all the network enabled games over your local area network. A machine name can be obtained by typing "whoami" into a DOS command prompt, or an IP address can be obtained by typing "ipconfig" into a DOS command prompt. (there is no internet support at this time, but i'm looking into it)

Settings can be accessed by pressing "S" at the main menu of any of the games, or from the Game Hub II main menu. It will display the current values, and allow the user to select and edit the settings.
