Fine Print

The primary source is this Google Sheet I found through Board Game Geek. Previous sources included Hangouts Against Humanity, Pretend You're Xyzzy, and contributions from viewers like you.

Tools

This project includes a script that automatically updates the compact JSON file from the source Google Sheet. In order to run tools/update-from-sheets.mjs, you need to put a credentials JSON file in the tools/ folder. You can get a credentials file by following the Google Sheets API Quickstart guide. After that, you can use npm run update-cards.
