One of the goals of mixed reality and ubiquitous computing technologies is to provide an adaptable and personal content at any\r\nmoment, anywhere, and in any context. In Multiplayer Ubiquitous Games (MUGs), players have to interact in the real world at\r\nboth physical and virtual levels. Player profiles in MUGs offer an opportunity to provide personalized services to gamers. This\r\npaper presents a way to manage MUG player profiles on an NFC Smart Card, and proposes a Java API to integrate Smart Cards in\r\nthe development of MUGs. This user centric approach brings new forms of gameplay, allowing the player to interact with the game\r\nor with other players any time and anywhere. Smart Cards should also help improve the security, ubiquity, and the user mobility\r\nin traditional MUGs.
