Mad Crazy Fool !!!

From publishers to designers.

We are putting the shoe on the other foot (does that mean what I think it means?) And diving into a subject that we know nothing about. Although we know some designers, we don't know what they do. So here is our limited perspective on their job. Along with our designers we like to follow (see podcast below).

But before that, lets post a poll. Let's find out some things about you so we can chat in our next show.

Poll

1. What is your deciding factor in a purchase of a board game ?

	The designer's name on the box
	The publisher's name on the box
	The amount of miniatures in the box
	The artist's name on the box
	It's ranked in the top 100 games on board game geek
	Tom Vasel brainwashed me into buying it
	It's a game that feels unlike any other I already own
	I have the first version of this game and so I want this version as well
	The box art is gorgeous and would look nice on my shelf
	Everybody is telling me this is a good game
	Something else

2. Which of these designers (in this short list) do you keep an eye on?

	Lorenzo Silva
	Richard Launius
	Alexander Pfister
	Eric M. Lang
	Frédéric Henry
	Uwe Rosenberg
	Hjalmar Hach
	Stefan Feld
	Vlaada Chvátil
	Bruno Cathala
	Reiner Knizia
	David Thompson
	John D Clair
	Corey Konieczka
	Reiner Stockhausen
