Formatting

The information for a given game should be formatted in a consistent fashion. Here's an example for Ticket to Ride, shown both in its rendered version and the "source text", which is in a markup format called "markdown".

Adding a Game

A block of text should follow these formatting guidelines:

• a header (a line starting with ###), containing the name of the game
  • this header with the title of the game should link to the game, preferably on Wikipedia or BoardGameGeek.com
  • if you can't link to it on Wikipedia or BoardGameGeek, try to use another well known source
  • the title should be in title case, special characters are dicouraged, as the linter will flag things such as exclamation points and question marks
• a quote block (a line starting with >), for a (brief) description of the game; keep it short
• an image of the board game, thumbnail, preferably from Wikipedia
  • if you can't find an image on Wikipedia or BoardGameGeek, try to find it elsewhere, in a size as close 250px x 250px or so
• a table, with basic statistics; # of players, min. age, and estimated time to play

When in doubt, follow the information from the vendor, or a trusted source like Board Game Geek.
