Board games!

Layout of cards on the table at the end of Fantasy Realms. Cards are laid out in a grid of sorts - fantasy illustrations with text. Game box stood up behind the cards for purposes of the picture.
End of game layout of the board game Abducktion. Ten little mini ducks on my player board, three unused action cards face-up, and the four scoring cards I achieved in the game, stacked in an offset. And then the teal, rubber UFO that contains the supply of ducks.
Cards laid out at the end of a game of Paperback. Fame points organized for counting in front of each player, central “offering” of cards left over from the game.

Cover art for the board game Grand Austria Hotel. Very forward in the scene, a fancy server holds out a tray with wine and glasses - all in front of the eponymous hotel, where a hop welcomes a guest.
Cover art for the board game Riverboat. A man pulls his boat towards the dock, large boats in the background, all traversing the Mississippi River to a setting sun.
Cover art for the board game Babylonia. Scene from ancient history, a small caravan approaches what I believe is the Ishtar Gate? At any rate, blocky and monumental, vivid indigo-ish blue, waterfalls falling from atop.
Cover for an older edition of The Prince of Florence. Two men in a study, surrounded by artifacts of different pursuits, suggesting they are polymaths, or “renaissance men”.
A collage of tech-y scenes, including design, manufacturing, retail - all surrounding a business-chic man focused on a tablet in the center.

Cover art for the board game Frutticola. A grid of 6 jars of jam - in a colorful, flat, vector-graphic style.
Cover art for the board game Senators. A Bryan Cranston-looking politician appeals to the Roman senate, arm gesturing wide, donning a white toga.
A still-in-shrink copy of the party game Cheese Thief, my hand holding it up. On the cover is a wide-eyed mouse ready to steal a wedge of hole-riddled, pale yellow cheese. All in front of a full moon, which might make this a were-mouse?
End state of City of the Big Shoulders. Main action board, and lots of company and personal treasury boards.
Box art for the board game Amun-Re. A pharaoh with arms raised, possibly worshipping the sun as it hangs over the Great Pyramids.
