== Motivation ==
'''Dracis''' is a ''free online card/board game community''. The general goal is to provide
an environment in which you can play card games with your friends or people
from all over the world. Hopefully, the number of games added over time will
grow steadily, including also less well-known and less popular games than
those you find online today.

Dracis also was created because of the frustration with existing card games
online. We found most of the interfaces we came across awfully
user-UNfriendly, ugly and annoying. It just never felt like a fun game with
friends, it didn't look nice, and it wasn't comfortable to play.

While the current interfaces are far from perfect, we're always open for suggestions.
see the [/wiki/info/contact/ Contact] and [/wiki/info/support/ Support] sections for more info.

== Name ==
The etymology of the name '''Dracis''' is mostly arbitrary. The original game
engine was called 'iCards'. However, that name was taken already and a *tad* too popular on [http://www.google.com google]. "Dracis", then, was the first anagram of iCards that sounded cool and also was very rare on google.

Some googling reveals some usages of "Dracis" in other contexts: a few sources
claim it is the possessive case of "draco", Latin for "dragon". This seems to
be incorrect, as the genitive of "draco" would be "draconis". (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

If anyone knows some languages or other curious links to the word, feel free to [/wiki/info/contact/ tell us about it], or
just add to this page directly.

Last but not least, the fact that the word reminds one of "dragon" (and it does sound quite Latinish)
is also the reason for the wing in the logo.
