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?
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.
