This is not exclusive to board game design. When I work on a personal project, I can be really creative and produce some good looking applications. However, as a professional developer working for someone else, I have to follow some guidelines that can result in boring, generic-looking stuff. This boring, generic-looking stuff allows me to consistently make a decent living, though.

Despite many fans hating the buggy engine Bethesda was using, and the fact their new games were basically spinoffs of their previous work, some of them are among the best-selling games of all time.
