No, that's not a typo in the title, I mean board, not bored. I work, as you may or may not recall, at a videogame development company. What you may not be aware of is that a shocking number of game developers are also lovers and designers of boardgames. Not only that, but the city in which I live has an annual board game design competition, which is obviously popular with the staff.
One of my colleagues mentioned before Christmas that he was planning on entering a game, and would I be interested in doing a cover for the box? Sure, sounded fun. And then I forgot all about it because Santa coming has that effect on me (or perhaps it's the copious alcohol).
Obviously I did end up painting the cover (or this would be a very short post), and you can see it, and the rest of this tale after the break below (unless you clicked through already, in which case it's right there, probably on screen already, Look! There! Right there!).
