Handle multiple publishers #82

Open wachunga opened 7 years ago

wachunga commented 7 years ago

Many successful games are published by multiple publishers in various countries, eg Catan. Perhaps publisher should be publishers?

Which publisher is currently represented? Generally the US one, I'm guessing.

Or maybe, because publishers change over time, publisher is not relevant metadata? (designer may be more relevant).

Typically, the US publisher has been represented. Though it's important to note the other publishers as well. In the case of Catan, the original publisher was Kosmos in Germany.

I'll make the attribute be "publishers" as an array of publishers. Though publishers vary, the game play and piece lists will not (though their appearance might). So long as the piece lists are the same, it would be appropriate to note multiple publishers on the game.
