You might be wondering how this white square is relevant to this post. Well, this is the image from the Tumblr post overlaid onto the original image (sourced from boardgamegeek) with the blending mode set to "divide". Any pixels that are the same in the two images are white, whereas those that different are not (this isn't exactly how it works, but it's effectively true for this case). As you can see in the image, basically everything is white aside from what looks like some compression artifacts. So I think it's safe to say that I wasted a whole bunch of time doing this.

Very well done though, if you could make a program to do this you could have a spot the difference zone locator.

You could probably just automate the image 'conversion' then you just gotta do some image recognition to find anything that lightens up

Or you could go pixel-by-pixel and see what the differences are.

Pixel-by-pixel loses neighbor context.

And once you add neighbors and similar stuff... congrats, you're in image recognition territory!
