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

Same! That's the first thing I noticed. Now I have to look back at the old pictures, lol

Congratulations to whomever is showing off their Flannders skill for this post.

Absolutely top notch. This is my favourite Flanders so far.

I always wonder what publishers and artists think when BGA decide to swap out a box art character for Ned Flanders, making the artwork sillier for the sake of a joke that (25 years after the golden age of the show) a lot of people won't even recognise as being a joke.

But if this was AI box art to begin with, I guess there's no great loss.

I see a post about a civ board game... I start salivating.... :-O

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.

What about simply READ THE RULES (RTFM)? The explanations are crystal clear.

The tone of this response seems a bit disproportionate. But here is what is written in the rules:

Image banks, photographs, artificial intelligence generations, or works from the public domain may have been used as working elements in the design or development of certain graphical and textual aspects of the game.

The elements of this game are not the result of a simple request to an Artificial Intelligence. Instead, they are the product of an artistic direction process that includes compositing, editing, and careful retouching by real humans with real bits of neurons...
