PATH OF CIVILIZATION: Follow the leaders, from 2 to 5 players!

Indeed. I had hoped I would be much further last year, but the game is very complex and has a lot of user interfaces to design and test.

The banner was a surprise to me as well.

This reminds me of a scene from 6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park where they are talking about seeing an ad for southpark coming back but they didn't have anything done yet.

Also I can't believe that I never noticed Flanders in the banners until now..... I always thought it was some silly meme that I didn't understand

Stupid sexy photorealistic Flanders

Nicely done

Disappointed BGA is giving this game publicity. AI art is not art, and it only exploits those artists it seeks to replace.

Oof. Weird and disappointing to see BGA state "Art by Cedrick Caumont" front and center on the homepage when this game is all AI art and that person is credited in the game's rulebook itself as "graphic designer."

The art in this game was generated from real artists' work without credit, and this Cedrick person simply arranged them on on the components.

I didn't realize this game was using AI art, thank you for the heads up. I do avoid all games that do that when possible.

I'm very excited for the Summer of Games! I hope that I can catch all of them this time. Lol.

Great news to see that game on BGA, I always wanted to try it and see if it's worth to buy.

If you don't like AI assisted design, you can just decide not to play or buy it. But it's really annoying to see people downvote the game on BGG just for that without even reading about the explanation from the publisher...

If there's an explanation from the publisher, they haven't made it easy to find. I've looked on their website and on BGG.

My guess is that they'll say they couldn't make the game if they had to pay an artist for their work. And I would say that if that's the case, then they shouldn't be in this business.
