Are proprietary games welcomed?

[DeeNewcum]

I was interested in implementing and submitting a PR for these two games:

• No Thanks! — VERY simple mechanics.
• Mamono Sweeper — a basic extension of Minesweeper, where instead of each "bomb" being a simple binary yes/no, each "bomb" has a value from 1 to 9, and you "level up" over time and are able to clear increasingly more powerful "bombs". Even though this seems like a radical departure from Minesweeper, it still plays mostly the same.

However, both are proprietary (e.g. No Thanks! is published in English by Z-Man Games). Are these types of games welcomed to be submitted via a PR?

You can submit a PR, but merging them into the repos takes time and may never happen. (You can see a few examples in our current PRs.)

For these cases, we consult with our legal team. Sometimes we are able to get permissions to include implementations (like for Hanabi). There may be other options, but it depends on several factors. If you have more questions on this topic, feel free to contact us by email.
