Maybe someone has speculated on this before, but the Guilds box art is seriously weird from a "selling this game" perspective.  As in like, what could possibly sell a game better than a picture of a guy apparently making a deal with another guy, while a third guy tries halfheartedly to cut in with a sort of "whaa?" look on his face.

Given the fact that this is the last expansion, do you think its custom portraiture such as the Knights cards?  Is it Donald making a deal with Jay?  I have to say, if that's the case, the artist was not interested in flattery.

Now if it is an artistic rendition of the fateful handshake long ago between Donald and Jay- who's the other guy?

My personal guess- CEO of Goko.  He's like all "Mr. Tummelson, I'd like to construct an online implementation of the fine game you just purchased.  As you can see, I am well qualified for this task; I have both a hatchet AND a big-ass saw."

Does anyone know- is there a real story behind the art?

Half the heart, but twice the elbows. Earthman arms just don't bend that way.

Probably someone got paid to do it, and nothing more exciting than that
