Links: A Video About Boxes
The Best Video on Board Game Boxes You’ll See This Year
The main link I wanted to share this week is Amabel Holland’s latest video contemplation of board game boxes. As someone who doesn’t mind—even kinda likes—the beige-cardboard-everywhere feel of 90s-2000s eurogames, I’ve watched with fascination over the past few years as the hobby game world has become much more aware of the power of image and marketing. It takes someone like Amabel who takes art games and the game business seriously to really delve productively into areas like boxes and physical presentation, where the reality of games as commercial entities collides with their various other natures—artistic, ludic, or otherwise.
