Anything from Leader Games and illustrated by Kyle Ferrin (Root, Oath, Fort...) feels like cheating but still, I absolutely adore their art style
Everdell, Photosynthesis, Parks, look nice as well
I also bought an updated edition of Costa Ruana just because of the illustrations: https://www.pamwishbow.com/client-work/project-four-yjynj-pafyx
I too am a bird man but I've asked my non-birdman friends who say that the game is indeed stunning.
It helps that the game is also enjoyable to play.
BIIIIIIRRDMAAAAAAANNNN
