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?
Agreed about Inis and Cairn is decent too but it’s still a small sample size. Will have to see how Galactic Renaissance turns out.
