This reminds me of the scene in Goodfellas when they're eating pasta with ~~Jimmy's~~ Tommy's mom.

"Yeah, I like it. There's this eagle. He's standin' in front of this star and he's sayin' 'Yeah! That's my star there... What about it?' and the stars just sitting there like 'Whadaya want? I'm just a star sittin' here.'"

EDIT: Wrong character!

This one is sublime.

It would work even without anything in the middle at all... or maybe a heptagon instead of a hexagon.

At first, I thought that was an Ogre approaching a lone command post across a blood-red field (clearly after taking out the defenders). With some minor tweaking, this could be a great, ominous poster showing that.

10 would make more sense if the game was just starting.

edit: But honestly, I like it better this way. I understand it so it doesn't need to have the right number of cards for starting deck or a single hand.

Ah ok... I just modded this image and I knew straight away who it was from but still I was like: "huh, really? Ok whatever works for you!"

The minimalism works quite well, even though I don't think much of Hannah Montana.

Consider this as a joke

Marek started doing posters for games that're nominated for polish Game of Year Award. All games that have a polish rules , all text is translated to polish etc etc are nominated.

One of games that were published last year was Hannah Montana CD Board Game

You can see a list of games nominated here: http://nagroda.gry-planszowe.pl/x.php/2,148/Zakwalifikowane-...

He promised to do some posters for more popular games now

yosz, you're right without one exception

Nominated "Byc jak Hannah Montana" is not the same game as Hannah Montana CD Board Game. There is no "Byc jak Hannah Montana" on bgg and I'm sorry, I didn't add it to this site

I've chosen game randomly.

These are the highest resolution I can give you, because I am working on opening little eshop with those posters and others. I hope I will finish it soon

It's almost done, but at August I am going on vacation and I don't want to open shop and few days later close it for 2 weeks. Sorry for that

If you like, you can buy some T-shirts with these projects. I am selling them by MySoti.com and you can see them on my profile site: http://www.mysoti.com/mysoti/designer/edrache/. I'm trying to add one or two projects everyday and I'll give you info if I add all of them
