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
Wyrmspan really brings it home for me personally, while also being a more fleshed-out and mature version of Wingspan
I miss the educational aspect of bird's trivia but I guess that's expected from a game about dragons
There's a whole book of dragon facts
Yeah but looking up the specific dragon you're playing is a whole separate thing to do as opposed to it just being on the card in wingspan.
