Eric WagonerandClaude Opus 4.8 cfabb20537 Add shelves page to game library; refresh bggpipe export
Port the export's physical shelf layout (.wall/.orow/.ocell) into the
scoped embed.css so /mygames/?g=shelves renders the wall in true
proportions, using the cream board color and accent-purple links for
legibility on the dark theme. Includes a fresh bggpipe re-export (new
Etherfields and Red Dragon Inn titles, updated art). embed.js/embed.css
are untouched by the export.

<div class="card desc">Utter Nonsense is a card game where players combine stereotypical accents with outrageous phrases to create sayings that are just plain ridiculous. Picture a grandma bragging about sexting or a redneck evaluating the finer points of an isosceles triangle. Each game comes complete with 40 Accent Cards and 460 Phrase Cards. Sometimes the phrases pair well with the accents, but for the most part they dont — and thats Utter Nonsense.
How You Play
The game consists of Accent Cards and Phrase Cards that players combine and act out. Sometimes phrases pair well with the accent, but more often, they dont — and thats Utter Nonsense.
1. Each game set has 40 Accent Cards and 460 Phrase Cards.
2. All players have 7 Phrase Cards.
3. One player serves as the Nonsense Judge and selects the Accent Card for the round.
4. Once the Accent Card is revealed, players select one Phrase Card from their hand, and say it in the accent indicated.
5. Its up to the Nonsense Judge to decide which players phrase and accent combination is the funniest, and that player wins the round.
6. After a player wins 5 rounds, that player wins the game.
You dont have to be good at accents and the combinations dont need to make sense; in fact, we encourage players to make the Phrase Cards their own. With each successive round, competition sets in and the most composed, mild mannered players become improv masters.</div><div class="card"><div class="factrow"><b>where it lives</b> Library Kallax · A2</div></div>
