It appears that the new Mayfair 1830: Railways & Robber Barons will also have matching spine box artwork, even though Klemens Franz is not the artist.

It is only the half of them shrink wrapped (Agricola Moorbauern, Agricola Goodies, Loyang, 1853). If I do not have the time to play them, I do not unwrap them.

First thought on seeing this image:

"Man, why is there always a line to use the restroom?"

Second thought:

And you know it's bad when there's a woman waiting in line for the men's room.

No, the will of steel would mean not buying them.

Why do you think so?

Also are all of these pics by the same designer?

Same artist. Uwe Rosenberg designed most of them.

You see only a small part of the shelves. Look at the whole shelves and you can find Puerto Rico

And the restroom would be the sea!?

Poseidon surely do not appreciate. ;-)

The Puerto Rico box is not the same size as these. At least mine isn't.

I was suppose to write Arabic Words, but BGG don't sport that, so you have to live up with this..

Before you head to the desert, make sure you have your own falcon....

what is the name of the game between "Poseiden" & "1853" ?

Thanks...

I checked the game, Interesting but not as heavy as Agricola & Le Havre.

I guess I will give it a try.

Mercury is my dog's name.

I wish I had a BattleTech related UberBadge. I already bought the badge, now I just need a design.

The artwork matches but the box size doesn't. I just tried to add my 1830 next to my copies of these games and found the box doesn't fit. 1830 is in a standard Mayfair sized box like Tigris & Euphrates or Steam. It is shorter, wider, and thicker than the Lookout/Agricola sized boxes.

Yep, I just noticed that too--a bit of a shame.
