¿Question #494?
pernishus: Who is your favorite game designer, excluding Reiner Knizia?

megajas: Reiner Knizia, only
oldhoss: Croc.
xofour: Bruno Faidutti (although I don't know how much I can say favorite if I can't even spell his stinking name) I gotta say RK isn't actually even in the top 3.
Spirit of 70: Kevin Wilson.
Zerosum: Richard Hamblen, including Reiner Knizia.
bcooperok: Goonier Knizzle.
leandros: Sid SackSon
Threedub: The Borg.
Phil Fleischmann: I'll say Sid Sackson. That brings the results to: Kramer 20, None 17, Dorn & Moon 11 each, Wallace 8, Faidutti & Teuber 5 each, Schacht & Borg 4 each. At 3 are: Colvini, Tresham, Seyfarth, Rosenberg, Steve Jackson. At 2: Garfield, Taylor, Friese, Kevin Wilson, Rick Young. 1 each for: Randolf, Breese, Schmiel, Stafford, Jervis Johnson, Peetersen, Mark Herman, Chadwick, Gygax, Hamblem, Calhamer, Dorra, John Hill, Moorehead & Vasey, Tim Schafer, Delonge, Serrette, Sweeney, Doris & Frank, Attia, Dunnigan, Weisman, Kiesling, Heath, Peterson, Ernest.
Woelf: Jordan Weisman
ricardofo: Dunnigan
macike: William Attia
DerDa: I don't really look for the name of the designer, but maybe aone of Doris&Frank, Rosenberg or 2F.
Hector Vortac: Does Martin Wallace exclude Reiner Knizia? I'll pick Wallace.
spayne: Wallace
gmonk: Bruno Faidutti
Tyrfing: Uwe Rosenberg nowadays (that is I don't like most of his early doings)
Zedsdead: Alan Moon. Oasis, Clocktowers, Elfenland, and TtR all make me happy.
falloutfan: Don't have a pref. Theme and execution is more important than designer.

PsyJam: Not sure
dougpartridge: I don't know, but I know that reiner knizia is overrated. Seriously that guy has about 10 mechanics, he just picks 2-3 of them, slaps on a theme and there you go, another game. Hopefully this answer annoys you.

nerotora: Reiner Knizia... is one of my less favorite designers because he usually produces abstract games with a pasted-on theme. My favorite game designer is Richard Borg and his command and control system which includes Battle Cry, Memoir 44 and other games.
dakarp: For quality per game, I have to go with Kory Heath. I've played 3 of his games, and loved each of them.

gnomehome: I like a lot of Kramer games, but to call him my favorite would go to far.
