+Squib is a ruby DSL for prototyping card and board games. Think of it like [nanDeck](http://www.nand.it/nandeck/) done "the Ruby way". Start with some basic commands and generate print-ready PNGs and PDFs. Squib supports complex text rendering, reading PNGs and SVGs, reading from XSLX files, and shape drawing. Plus, you have the full power of Ruby behind you.

-Note: Squib is based on the `cairo` and `pango` extensions, which require at least Ruby 2.0
+Note: Squib has some native dependencies, such as [Cairo](https://github.com/rcairo/rcairo) and [Pango](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Pango%3A%3ALayout), and [Nokogiri](http://nokogiri.org/), which all require DevKit to compile C code. This is usually not painful, but on some setups can cause headaches. For Windows users, I *highly* recommend using [http://rubyinstaller.org/].
