I set up Windows 10 on an old Mac laptop (took all day, every possible thing went wrong) so I could play MTG Arena and it's fun. Complicated game. As a programmer I'm impressed they could model it accurately. I'm still just playing the AI but will try losing to humans soon.

There are basic rules, and then an endless stream of cards that bend those rules in a million different ways. Their core model must be very flexible/extensible, to support all the various cards AND frequent releases of new cards that further modify the game.
