¿Question #232?
sumo: Who is your favourite game designer?

DonkeyJay: I don’t have one.
BOBBYCAN: That Avalon Hill person.
MAJBrown22: Ryan Laukat
Woelf: Christian Marcussen
pwilz: Living: Dorn Dead: Sackson
oldhoss: this has been asked a bunch and I probably answer different each time. Probably means that I have no real favorite.
Felimid: Stefan Dorra. "Land Unter" (the 2001 pigs version).
wedgeex: He doesn't get much recognition and isn't as well known as some but I really like Mathias Cramer. He's most well known for Glen More but that is likely my least favorite of his games (but still really great). I like Lancaster the most - one of my favorites of all time. Helvetia is also a really fun one and unique as well.
devitosghost: Klaus Teuber. I'm a new gamer and Catan got me into board gaming. Plus my friend drank with him at a convention in Vegas and said he was cool haha.
weed131: Jason Mathews
bcooperok: Goonier Knizzle
Jatoha: I guess Knizia
Spirit of 70: Tom Wham.
cadavaca: Phil Eklund. Games like college courses I tell you!

Thundergoat: Probably Jervis Johnson from Games Workshop. He's made so many cool games that vary differently from one to the next. He has a good sense of balance when it comes to the different elements of his games.
DHEK: Andreas Seyfarth for now.
Chad Jensen: Martin Wallace
offwater: M. Kramer
berserkley: Wolfgang Kramer

Leo-T: Richard Borg
Cut & Space: Rudiger Dorn
suncrush: I haven't really got one.
Burnham: I guess all I can say is the person who designed my current favorite game (Descent:JitD) which would mean Kevin Wilson, though I don't froth at the mouth for whatever a certain designer has coming next.
PsyJam: Don't have one, I give them all a shot.
Nekura: I don't know if I have an overall favorite. Some ones I enjoy are Reiner Knizia, Dan Smith, and Rick Loomis.

vampywife: again with the favorites, i don't really have one
