Of everything in my collection, this is perhaps the most beautiful. This and maybe Twilight Imperium 3.

This week's Chit Chat Film Club film of the week is . . . . . . . . I'M ALL RIGHT, JACK

(EYE of NiGHT)

I thought this was a fantastic cover when I saw it. Really made me want to play the game.

Is it just me or does that pirate look a lot like Ben Afleck?

Not only a busy illustrator but a Spiel des Jahres magnet...

I count one 2006 SDJ winner (and its expansion), three 2007 SDJ nominees and one 2007 SDJ recommended game. That's quite the record!

I suggest you check two illustrators' geeklists:
Doris Mathäus
and
Franz Vohwinkel.

Still, Menzel also is a very popular (and great) illustrator in many great and recommended new games.

I would love to own a framed game board by Michael Menzel (without the graphics covering the art). Anybody know if prints can be purchased of his work?
