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?

Horseless Carriage is great. SoPac is one I still need to try. There was a copy at DoamCon last weekend, but I didn't get a game in. I did get West Riding Revisited in, which is excellent. It's one of the few cube rails to have minor and major railways. I'd like to see it licensed, but it's a little unlikely

@Profilename1 If you're headed to #PaxUnplugged this winter, I'm happy to bring Southern Pacific and try and put together a 3 or 4p game. I know some other train gamers who are going so that should be doable.

Send me a DM if so.

Nah, I probably won't make it to Pax Unplugged. I will be at Age of Steam Con, so I might get a play in there.
