You’re welcome, and thank you for the kind words! Artwork is a very interesting topic with board games. At least back in the day, it felt less important. Nowadays, a lot of games look like collectible pieces that can be put on display or at least admired at the table.

I’m sure it’s different for everyone, of course, but that’s been my experience. The art isn’t the main reason why I choose to buy a game, since mechanics and a good solo mode are still vital. But I do enjoy artwork that adds a lot to the experience and complements the title!

And while I don’t think of myself as particularly affected by art, sometimes it just works – for example in Small Islands where it just perfectly matches the mood, bright and cheerful.
