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?

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.

Uwe Rosenberg. His worker placement games are just so well designed and scratch an itch not many other games scratch.

Reiner Knizia.

Perhaps Paul Dennen? Clank! And Dune: Imperium are both Top 10 games for me.

But for someone with a wider catalog I'll go with Knizia.

I would not say no to a Uwe Rosenberg game.

I don't know about a lot of designers, but Jason C. Hill, I guess. Last Night on Earth is my favourite board game series, so I'll try whatever he puts out there.

Has Flying Frog put out a new game since they released Shadows of Brimstone? I used to love their games but they seem to only focus on that games now.

Sadly, no. It seems like SoB has become their money maker. LNoE isn’t going anywhere, though, and I’m kinda happy with where it is. That being said, a new IP would’ve been nice.
