I myself have thought, upon merely looking at a game: “THE GAME IS SO BEAUTIFUL… IT MUST BE GOOD!” Whether or not the game is actually as good as it looks is irrelevant. The fact remains, artwork and component quality probably have the greatest impact on board game sales.
In this video, I won’t just show you 5 games with stunning component design, but we’ll talk about what it MEANS for a game to be “beautiful” and how much of an impact a game’s looks should have on a game’s overall popularity.

I was shocked to see how few views this video, and then the rest of your channel, have. This method of rating games is great, I look forward to seeing it grow in the hobby. Great video!

Thank you so much. I'm hoping that the way I've done this video will give it some longevity so people may find it relevant even after the games it features become old.

New Subscriber...loving the channel! Interesting pick of games for this subject...and oddly enough, the changing die faces are the main draw for a game I've been working on for a couple of years. But in my game, die faces are swapped to upgrade attacks, defense, healing, etc. Keep these videos coming!! Love it!

Interesting because I didn’t focus on artwork? I hope I made my intent clear. Better artwork is what I mean when I say it can be applied to any game. But does artwork really make a game better? More attractive, yes. But better? I tried to select games where the components themselves actually make the game better. Anyway. Thank you for subscribing and leaving your comment. Glad to hear you as enjoying it.

And good luck on your game design!

I would maybe talk about some third party upgrades. Quacks for example is so much more enjoyable to play with upgraded plastic tokens. I know this video was mostly about game that come with high production value and nice components, but it would be interesting.

The new deluxe Ra Pharaoh edition is really beautiful. So is Dice Tree's deluxe Winner's Circle edition and Medina 2nd edition. Also Super Meeple's editions of Tikal, Mexica and Cuzco are superb looking. The amazing resin pyramids in Mexica ...

Thanks, man! I make them... or at least, I drew the design and I order them through a print-on-demand service. You can find them here: www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Evolution-of-Games-by-NeverBenBetter/144010737.NL9AC.XYZ Unfortunately, the one I am wearing in the video thumbnail is not available at this time (board game pieces printed all over)
