This is not the same thing, but you might be interested in taking a look at the excellent online Terra Mystica implementation (https://terra.snellman.net/) if you haven't seen it already.

It's a web interface, but the underlying representation is text-based, and you can type in the commands directly if you want. This leads to some nice features--for example, you can plan your moves several steps ahead of time, and you get a game log for free.

There creator wrote a blog post about that particular design decision: https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2014-12-08-command-lan...

Yeah, in my experience having a pure text interface proves to be a very complex design challenge but it enables so much cool stuff. One interesting side effect is that it makes writing bots quite simple.
