APIs & databases
Community-maintained database of Q&As and official OCG ruling translations. These people do incredible work. Primary source for "safe" rulings.
Card database (text, stats, images) and public API, used to resolve card names and display card art.
Community documents
Some of the reference diagrams and tables used (Damage Step, Fast Effect Timing, ATK/DEF modifications, conjunctions, etc.) come from guides made by members of the French Yu-Gi-Oh! judge and player community, including the Lingering vs Continuous diagram by Lantern. A big thank you to the whole community for this explainer work.
Le Judge will always stay free to use — any paid plans coming later only exist to cover the AI costs behind it. Built by BoBobby, a passionate Yu-Gi-Oh! player and judge who simply wants to bring more useful tools to the community. If it's useful to you and you'd like to see more, a small donation is the nicest way to say thanks: never required, always appreciated.
