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?

My list looks similar. Splotter is at the top. I did preorder Horseless Carriage back before we had much info about it and don't regret it. John Bohrer would be up there as well, but though various connections I've played enough Winsomes to know they aren't an instant buy. (Iberian Railways, Italian Railroads, and 1836)

Tangent, but I'm very split on 1836. The opening is incredible, but once you get past the first stock round all the interesting decisions have been made.
