This project Python with the Flask framework library and SQLAlchemy to run an online board game store. Users may view the store without needing an account, and are able to view a list of publishers, a list of all games, and a list of games filtered by publisher. Users may log in with Facebook or Google, after which they can add new publishers, add new games for those publishers, and edit and delete games and publishers that they've created. The game lists can be sorted by length, player count, price, and name via a dropdown menu. The server will connect to the included database, which has already been pupotaled with three publishers, each with five games.
