I'm considering dropping the stub tag. There is more that can be said, but how much detail is really appropriate? I don't want to step on SJG's propietary rights?
Specifically, would it be too much to list the different cards used? It seems to me that listing the cards & describing what they do could be a copyright violation.
Yes, I think the stub-tag can already be dropped. Just add whatever you think is appropriate, but I really think listing all cards with their descriptions would be too much. With the 160 cards there would be way too much too detailed information. I think it would get reverted with a reference to WP:NOT#IINFO. The copyvio point is probably also true, after all, you'd effectively just copy the whole work. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 16:05, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that description of all the cards is not necessary, but you're both wrong as a matter of law. The rules of a game are outside the scope of copyright (at least in the US, which is what matters for English Wikipedia). Copying from a rulebook without permission would be verboten because the rule book is an expressive work that is subject to copyright. Stating the rules of a game in your own words is permitted because rules are abstract ideas and not expressive works. Many people are confused about this issue because they fail to distinguish between copyright and patent (this due in part to the unfortunate term "intellectual property" which is often used to conflate inherently dissimilar legal domains).
