As you add additional games, I would include a search bar on the main page.

I mean it's no surprise with it being one of the most popular board games right now. I finally got around to purchasing it about a month ago and I really like it as well. Has the perfect balance between simplicity and strategy.

Love the minimalist look of the cards. I'll try this out in the coming days.

Is there any way to add unlisted games? This looks like a simple spreadsheet type thing, unless I'm missing some key detail.

I assume each game's scorecard is stored as json somewhere, or is a javascript object with the rows being preset icons/strings. Looks very useful.

Can I contribute games I'd like to add? Or maybe run a local version customized for the games my group plays?

Could you add a general "game" for round-based games?

The current Scrabble score-card is close, but it would be nice to have a per-round score and a running total as columns.

Absolutely! I meant to add it back, I originally had one front and center on the landing page. Lots of uses for it.

Mosaic will be useful. Can't believe the retail version didn't come with anything to track score.
