Imagine that your friendly local game store has a sale and you see a great deal on a game by one of your favorite designers. You know nothing about the game besides the designer’s name and that it’s a decent price. You are in a hurry, no time to research, buy it now or miss out.

Which designer’s game would you most likely purchase blindly based only on their name?

Despite the huge respect I have for Reiner, I found many of his games have one single tiny mechanic that is often boring after the first play.

I mean it’s gotta be Vlaada Chvatil. God only knows what kind of game I’d end up walking out with, but I can guarantee it would be something interesting.

I would not say no to a Uwe Rosenberg game.

My picks: On the lighter side Phil Walker-Harding. The game might be end up being light but it will be very likely enjoyable. On the mid-weight side it’s probably Simone Luciani or Daniele Tascini or possibly someone else from the Italian-style euro designer group (T-series, Grand Austria Hotel etc). I’ve liked pretty much everything I’ve tried from them so far.
