How I would do it:

Have a central database (CDB) that knows what cards everybody has.  Publish
contacts for all players (email, phone, etc).  Let the players arrange
trades by whatever means they can (email, IRC, etc).  When tow players have
finished a deal, both send email to to the (CDB).  When the CDB gets the
message from both players the cards are transferred, and revised card lists
are sent to both players.

Have one player move per day.  The player sends move to the CDB and the
results are sent out to everybody.  Calamities happen just like turns.
After the last players turn a calamity is announced & all players have a
day to submit their response to the calamity, when the results of the first
calamity are published the second is announced etc.  Allow card trading
continuously, except during the calamity period.
