System Architecture/Classes

We need to decide what we want.
I think there are four classes here, from a relatively high level perspective:

1. The Board.
2. The Players.
3. The Deck.
4. The Cards.

Some questions about how things would be set up:

1. Does the player draw the card (method of Player class) or is the card drawn from the deck (method of Deck class)?
2. Is the player's location stored internally to the player, or internally to the board?
