Brilliant! If you don't quite get it, just keep looking at the cards of one colour and notice: 1. how the individual cards make one colour; 2. how the cards have been shrunk into different sizes to show this. Don't give up on this image until you "get it"! This picture is a work of art, and someone must have spent a great deal of time making it. 10/10.

Nice work whoever made this. My only suggestion would be to remove the black borders, but I see there's already an image like that. This is therefore interesting as it shows how the images on the cards 'zoom' into each Lost City.

Brilliant. Great job. I am glad I am not the only one who tried to put the cards together and get the big picture.

So scanning the cards let you scale them back to the original proportions. I envy your creativity and cunning.

May I will use a similar mural to design my own cards.

Now I understand why they are called "expeditions"! This image beautifully shows how all the card pictures (of one colour) form one picture of one expedition, culminating of course in a lost city. Lovely!

This image here is similar, and equally outstanding:


See also:



These are classic examples of a polyptych, which is a term to describe pictures divided into multiple panels/sections. There's quite a large number of games that feature a polyptych, see a pictorial gallery here:

It's a work of art! Games that are puzzles: cards with artwork that forms a single picture when combined
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/34803



It is especially prevalent in Magic the Gathering, a game in which the designers have created many many polyptychs and diptychs (two panels) on the lands. For more information and pictorial examples, see this article:

My favorite of the expeditions is the blue, undersea adventure. Always feels like the POV is from the submersible.
