Quality Game Cover Art

The Caylus cover art (and many other covers like it) strikes me as some sort of compromise after several iterations. You can feel the artist no longer caring.

He could only stand still for so long.

S.

Serious game needs serious cover.

Umm, I don't think that's a woman's buttocks.

I'm confident that is the worst game cover I've ever seen.

It's a hex & counter wargame of Mediterranean empires. Re-released as Imperator, with better artwork.

((Hopefully I got the image working this time!))

this thread loses meaning unless this is on every single page of it.

Hey, do you think the tray and vase were added as a compromise?

You might be right Greg, I was looking at the tutu.

Either way, the game implies rape.

I think you see rape everywhere. I don't see it here at all.

The FLGSs (plural, motherfuckers) of my early teens to 21 had women as staff and normals weren't shunned~

I always thought Montana would be more like Deadwood, but it sounds more and more like BC.

The only rape I see on the cover is to my eyes.

What is that brontosaurus doing in the water way in the back, anyhow?

If you put your mind to it, every game can be about rape. You just need to have the right attitude.

JJ, that could give new life to The Game of Life! "Congrats! You have twins from non-consensual sex!" And as your car fills up, so does your guilt.

"Daddy! I landed on the broken condom space...does that mean I left DNA evidence?"
