Discussion	This example shows how to construct a set of cards — one per game — using the BoardGameGeek API (BGG API), accessed via the https://github.com/SukiCZ/boardgamegeek Python library. This example was inspired by https://www.myboardgamecollection.com/ - a simple way to create a PDF file with all your collection data! This example uses games’ “thumbnails” sourced from the BGG API, and also makes use of the Selection command to change the color of the third panel, based on how well the game is rated.

Title	BoardGameGeek Example with Images and QRCodes
Script	cards_bgg_image.py
Discussion	This example shows how to construct a set of cards — one per game — using the BoardGameGeek API (BGG API), accessed via the https://github.com/SukiCZ/boardgamegeek Python library. This example was inspired by https://www.myboardgamecollection.com/ - a simple way to create a PDF file with all your collection data! This example uses games’ full-sized images sourced from the BGG API, which are “sliced” to show the middle-third of the image. It also makes use of the QRCode command to generate a QRCode based on a hyperlink for the games’ URLs on the BGG website.
