Essen Spiel, the world's biggest board game fair, has admitted using controversial AI-generated art on its tickets, posters and app for this year's event, which kicks off in three days.
Do any job for 15 years, and it can end up feeling a little stale. That even goes for board game design royalty - and was the position 7 Wonders and Hanabi creator Antoine Bauza found himself in last year.
Antoine Bauza, the veteran designer of games including 7 Wonders and Takenoko, has launched board game publishing company PlayPunk alongside Repos Productions co-founder Thomas Provoost.
Sansoucci, the 2014 Spiel des Jahres nominee from Azul designer Michael Kiesling, is finally coming to the US after soaring past its admittedly low goal for its Kickstarter campaign.
Voting is open for the Deutsche Spiele Preis, Germany's biggest board gaming award, with winners set to be announced at the Essen Game Fair in October.
