NOMINATIONS NOW CLOSED: CHECK BACK SOON TO VOTE ON TOP 10
Let’s be honest, 2020 has been no ordinary year and many of us have seen fewer new games than we usually would. That said, the real goal of this website has always been to encourage people to think about and discuss art in board games, and we can definitely still do that.
This is the 4th Best Art of the Year vote I’ve hosted on this site, and each year you’ve nominated hundreds of games and cast thousands of votes, proof if ever it was needed that not only is board game art important to us, but there are an incredible wealth of titles being made now worth talking about.
2020 is (thankfully) almost over, so let’s take a moment to look back and celebrate the games. I’m looking to find out which games (expansions included) released this year had the BEST OVERALL ARTWORK. Will it involve work by industry veterans or someone new to the scene? Will it be a gorgeous indie game or a beautiful big release? To find out the answer, I need your help.

Whilst you’re here, forgive me for telling you about one more thing. Until the end of the year, I am raising money for UK housing and homelessness charity Shelter. Every Mon and Wed I stream board games live on Twitch, and I am giving away games (worldwide) every stream in December to encourage charitable donations.

Nominate - Best Board Game Art 2019
Which board games had the best art of 2019? You decide! It's the third annual vote and this year saw more gorgeous tabletop games released than ever. Have your say, or check back to view the results!
I launched this site back in 2017 to help share the story behind the creation of the art in board games. It’s my belief that this work should be celebrated, and my website’s simple goal is to do exactly that. There are plenty of games and illustrators I haven’t covered, so in order to further spotlight the hard work of those who make our games look so beautiful, I created this public vote.
Last year saw over 200 different games nominated with thousands of votes on the top 10 most popular, proof if ever it was needed that not only is board game art important to us, but also that game releases have never looked better.
2019 is almost over, so I’m looking to find out which games (expansions included) released this year had the BEST OVERALL ARTWORK. Will it involve work by industry veterans or someone new to the scene? Will it be a gorgeous indie game or a beautiful big release? To find out the answer, I need your help.

I created this site to help spotlight and share the stories behind board game art. How games look form a huge part of how we connect with them but when it comes to awards recognition we often primarily focus on the game design. To celebrate the hard work of those responsible for making our games look so beautiful I created this vote.
