German game designer

A German game designer is not necessarily a game designer who is German, but someone who designs German-style board games. Typically in Germany the game designer's name is given a prominent location on the cover of the game box, unlike many other countries where only the publisher's name can be found. Since the designer is known, consumers can decide on which game to buy based on the game designer rather than just the company who produced it. German game designers also have somewhat of a celebrity status in the gaming community.
