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 Tuna just because of the illustrations: https://www.pamwishbow.com/client-work/project-four-yjynj-pafyx
There is only one edition of Brass: Birmingham. Are you thinking of Brass: Lancashire?
Could be. I’ve seen a copy the original one, which may have just been called Brass. I can’t quite recall.
