BGG Art Series Posters Becoming Available Soon!
July 27, 2019 by brennon
I love board games. I also love artwork that is to do with board games. So, when BGG brought together their Artist Series a couple of years ago I was very drawn to the posters they got a group of guest artists to create for some well-loved games.
Their previous designs, created by a range of different artists were done in a style which echoed the old travel posters of the early 20th Century. They have collected together some amazing pieces, especially for the likes of Mysterium and Blood Rage as you'll see above.
The second set from last year pushed things even more. The Takenoko poster is beautiful, as is the wonderful Seven Wonders design which you could legitimately see popping up in an olden day travel agents.
The next set of poster pre-orders are going up this weekend for you to consider Artist Series #3. They will be available over on their webstore at a later date too. Currently, the pre-order sizes are 24 x 36, 20 x 30, 16 x 24, and 12 x 18. Here are the additions for 2019...
Dead Of Winter by Mihaljo Dimitrievski
Gloomhaven by Anca Gavril
Race For The Galaxy by Ian O'Toole
Terraforming Mars by Tania Walker
As a big fan of all of these games, I would certainly love to have these up on my wall. I think the Terraforming Mars one is absolutely stunning, as is the Race For The Galaxy one. I could see these being a wonderful addition to a gaming store's walls perhaps too, showing off some amazing artwork which gets people excited about the games they're playing.
What do you think of the artwork for this year and what board games would you suggest they tweak to fit this style?

That Race for the Galaxy one looks incredible, got a very retro sci fi look to it. I could definitely see myself grabbing that one and it not looking out of place.
Perfect decor for a gaming or hobby room, if you can see the walls behind all the piles of boxes. Like you @brennon, the Terraforming Mars and Race For The Galaxy caught my eye the most. The Gloomhaven one reminds me of an album cover but I’ll be damned if I can think of it.
Love the picture’s they could look great poster sized.
