Fascinating! I'm pulling my evidence from this file page on BGG, so it's not from an official playte page: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/281...
I wonder which one came first or which one is officially sanctioned (if not both). Thank you for your additional context!

How many titles will use AI generated imagery?
A black and white collage of images of the game The Game of Coda: the box; a set of 4 black and white tiles with numbers arranged from low to high; a doodle of the game on a black sticky note; a pile of black and white tiles face down.
The Game of the Week is The GAME of Coda! The international code-breaking sensation that I had never heard of until finding it while thrifting. You're taking shots at opponents' codes, pushing your luck or playing cautiously to lengthen your own code.
A brown cavapoo looking calm and sweet in one photo, and then screaming (yawning) as the flash accidentally goes off
Your boy handled it better than mine.
I didn't catch the meeting this morning, what does that mean?
A collage of images of the game Railroad Ink, designed by Hjalmar Hach & Lorenzo Silva: a red sticky note doodle with a train, volcano, and meteor; a player board at the end of a game showing highways, railways, and a giant lake of lava; 6 dice showing pathways and lava lakes; the box.
The Game of the Week has turned 10 years old! I've been making little doodles and playing games at work for a decade. Over 400 games!
A used copy of Railroad Ink was a little treat to myself for the occasion. Boy, these lava lakes and meteors are mean!
A ink doodle of a wrinkly pug nestled in the folds of a blanket
I can't even tell where the wrinkles of the pug stop and the wrinkles of the blanket begin.
But he learned how to use swords by pretending they were the shovel he used to bury his family! Cinema!
I didn't know I needed an animation of curtains parting, but boy did I hoot and holler when it happened .
A collage of images of the game Rumis, designed by Stefan Kögl: a pyramid of player pieces at the end of the game; the box of the game; a sticky note doodle of the title; a selection of player pieces, which are polycubes.
Rumis is the Game of the Week! Polyominoes are so yesterday, now I'm into polycubes! Rumis (aka Blokus 3D) has you placing your pieces so that more faces of your color are visible from the top at the end of the game.
The dream
I was thrilled when I misread it as a Godzilla short film, but my excitement remained at that high level when I realized it was Gorillaz.
Me too! The wooden tokens are delightfully wonky and it's all very satisfying.
A collage of images of Harmonies, designed by Johan Benvenuto, art by Maëva Da Silva: a sticky note with some doodles of the landscape types; a player board stacked with round wooden tokens; a closeup of a bear card; the box featuring a lion lounging in the sun; the selection board with 5 spots holding 3 tokens each; a penguin card showing penguins diving into the ocean.
Harmonies is the Game of the Week! An ecosystem is complex and interwoven, but you're up for the job of creating one for yourself! Grab landscapes and take care of animals in a hope to thread them all together in a beautiful web of life. Good luck!

Lagoon?
I'm gonna say Takenoko and Fun Facts.
2020 earthquake I was on the toilet.
We had a permanent Switch room for Super Smash Bros tournaments, and every day we would play board games. Not everything about working in person was bad! Just the working part!
Thank YOU!
Signed!
"Beech chip dig pit" is my new "cellar door."
We've got flowers blooming in Utah. It's been a bad (very warm) winter...
The bag they came in is already so busted...
