I love alternate history art of Jakub Rozalski (Scythe ) and Simon Stålenhag (Tales of the Loop) both are superb illustrators . I agree Fury of Dracula 2nd edition captures the essence of the game. I have a soft spot for Avalon Hill Dune original art but also like the new stylised art of the Gale Force Dune
Nice. Love that iron, blood cover. Surprised not to see some more of the painted covers like Steve Pascal’s Academy games or those GMT air games (Red Storm?). Made me think of bad box art- I nominate Up Front (Banzai), operation husky, and Wargamer mag Khyber Rifles.
The Axis and Allies covers are great. Here are a few I like: Hell's Highway (Butterfield), Cry Havoc (original), Panzer Blitz, Squad Leader, EastFront (Columbia 1st Ed.), By Stealth And Sea, Labyrinth (gmt), Time of Crisis, Wars of Marcus Aurelius, A Victory Lost, Zurmat, Robinson Crusoe, Maria, Old School Tactical Ghost Front, and . . . Hero Quest (original)
Really nice looking art throughout. Me, i love several covers. A couple that come to mind are On Mars and Navajo Wars. Definitely in my top 5 or higher. Take care and thanks for sharing.
All Axis and Allies, specially 1914 and Anniversary… evocative and attractive.
@@varovaro1967 Indeed!
This video is a cry for help: Donate more games to Cody and Friends!
@@A._J_. Ha!
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer only an issue cause stuff like this clogs up the Consimworld new video feed.

Yeah, GF9's Dune is a great design.
I think Oathsworn, Android Netrunner Revised Core, Bloc by Bloc 3rd ed, and Vampire: Chapters Montreal would be on my list somewhere.
@@joeymcjoeysalot6596 Excellent. Thanks.
Cool video--Academy games any of the Birth of America Series should be in the running as well--1754 is my favorite.
Some great artwork there, for sure. Thanks.
Your #1 pick gave me an idea for a list. Your top 10 games that are fun AND are true to the spirit or story of a movie/book they're based on.
@@carlossteffens7659 Yeah, I’ve thought about doing my favorite thematic games based on an IP and not. Thanks.
I can't believe the cover for FFG's Rex (the Dune reskin) didn't make it on this list! 😡
You are dead to me now.
Salman 😉
@@salmanqaisar7377 Ha! Good cover!
You're basically holding the cover to Space Empires 4x in your thumbnail
@@esolo114 D’oh!
I never played it, but I think that "Abyss" cover is just magnificent 😍😍
@@francklecaron9097 Indeed.
Possibly too cutesy for this channel but I love the Everdell box art (and art in general).
Too cutesy, indeed! Thanks!
Great list. 2 games that I would like to add are Charioteer and Freezing inferno.
Good call.
Great list. I would only switch Scythe with My Father's Work.
@@christopherwilson2606 Fair Enough
Iron, Blood, Snow & Mud's cover is nice enough to frame.
Yes it is!
Adding the word “evocative” to my TDG drinking game.
@@90rightangle2 ha!
Not a single Rodger B McGowan cover?
What are you talking about? He's done many covers over the years.
Just remarking that he wasn't in your top 10
Eldritch Horror is my favourite
@@scifigeezer5271 Great Game - great cover!

The problem is, there are too many great game covers out there.

@@kamtekar300 Good stuff. Thanks!
Tactics II is a simple cover that *immediately* conveys to you what the game is.

@@SergioGVasco Thank you!
Are you going to back Imperial Borders?
@@heikkihegemon493 Just got married. Gotta see if I can afford it.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Congratulation! Sure is a hefty pledge... I hope you get a test copy or something to early review it.
@@heikkihegemon493 They had offered me the change to do a preview video, but I didn't have time with the wedding.
