Read on to find out why these made the cut…

The BoardGameGeek Artist Series

Our first project this week is not a board game, but rather a way to celebrate the board games you live with beautiful artwork for your home or gaming space. The BoardGameGeek Artist Series is a collection of high quality art prints each featuring unique artwork for a specific board game.

This current Kickstarter is the 10th series of art print in this series and includes four new pieces of art for four board games. If you’ve listened to our holiday gift guides on the WiscoDice Tabletop Gaming Podcast, you’ll know I am a big fan of these awesome board game themed art prints. There are the four new prints you can look forward to in series 10:

  • Flamecraft from husband and wife art team Mr. Cuddington. 
  • Lost ruins of Arnak from artist Chris Quilliams
  • Nemesis from Mihajlo Dimitrievski (The Mico)
  • Power Grid from artist Eric Hibbeler

All of these pieces are printed with high quality pigments on certified archival paper. Each is also available in a variety of print sizes to best fit your space. And as a bonus there is a selection of popular prints from previous series you can choose as addons to your pledge. Speaking of which let’s take a peek at those pledge levels to see how you can get your hand on all this lovely art:

  • All Four Series 10 Prints 12″x18″-  $109
  • All Four Series 10 Prints – 16″ x 24″ – $199
  • All Four Series 10 Prints – 20″ x 30″ – 299

  • Customize Your Selection – $?? – NOTE: This pledge level is for those who want to customize their pledge with specific add-on options, your total cost will depend on the specific items you add to your pledge. 

The BoardGameGeek Artist Series: Series 10 campaign will end on April 30, 2025 so be sure to head on over to Kickstarter and get your pledge in before then.
