Why do the pawn idols that appear in the photo on the bottom of the box look different than the ones inside the box?
That’s because the mass-produced pawns were not created at the time the box art was done. It’s a chicken-and-egg thing: How do you put a photo of the finished game and all its final pieces on the box, before the game and its pieces are final and done? The only solution was to use the Limited Edition Playing Gods Idols in the photo. Note the disclaimer next to the photo saying that the pawns may not match the photo. The Limited Edition Idols are hand-cast and much more detailed than the regular pawns; they have been very popular, and are for sale as a set.
