At least this is what one or more Polish companies seem to be thinking given that they have illegaly taken Mathieu Leyssenne's illustrations from Braff, Cathala and Pauchon's Animalia and used them on cigarette lighters. Currently GameWorks is looking into ways to try to resolve this matter.

Admittedly the lighters do look beautiful...

If at first you don't succeed, forget it and start drinking.

Speaking of Animalia, since the art is clearly so good, how about we turn this into a campaign to get GameWorks to release it stateside

please?

Man, you'd only get 2 medals for that. What a bad collection.

Weird to see a thief too.

Animalia is one of the best light card games I own. Very good in my opinion. Sad to see the beautiful artwork exploited in such a way.

Good luck to GameWorks!

Cheers,

Giles.

It was release at least in Canada.

It was available at www.levalet.ca for a while, and pretty sure I've seen a couple of copy when I was there last time.
