Vote - Top 10 Best Board Game Art 2018
UPDATE: The results to the vote are now live! You can read them here.
I created this site to help spotlight and share the stories behind board game art. How games look form a huge part of how we connect with them but when it comes to awards recognition we often primarily focus on the game design. To celebrate the hard work of those responsible for making our games look so beautiful I created this vote. In December I asked you to nominate the best board game art of 2018 and you didn’t disappoint.
You nominated over 200 different games. The list below is your top 10.
I’m looking to find out which of these games released in 2018 had the BEST OVERALL ARTWORK and below is your top 10 most popular nominations in alphabetical order. To help guide you in your vote, I’ve included images of each game as well as the artists and publishers attached to each game according to board game geek.
Remember, this is for overall artwork so try not to judge a game solely by it’s cover.
The images were provided by the publishers, or when they didn’t have any, photos taken by myself or kindly shared by the community. Although I’ve tried to get a good variety of images I’d encourage you to seek out more about each game before casting your vote and to help I’ve included a link next to their names (showing as: more info) through to the website Board Game Geek. Here you can find a gallery of images, the game descriptions and any additional information you may need to guide your choice.
You nominated so many incredible games I wish I could have included more and I hope you’ll join me in celebrating not only the talent shown below but that in the industry as a whole. Finally I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has taken part so far and those of you joining us at this stage. On to the vote!
