List of board game designers
A game designer is a person who invents games at the conceptual level.[1] Outstanding board game designers are recognized annually by awards such as the Spiel des Jahres and the As d'Or.[2] The Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design, a division of the Game Manufacturers Association, inducts outstanding individuals into the Hall of Fame.[3]
The Origins Awards are presented by Game Manufacturers Association for outstanding work in the tabletop gaming industry.[4] The Charles S. Roberts Award and the Charles Roberts Awards Hall of Fame recognize excellence in manual, tabletop games, with a focus on conflict simulations.[5] Mensa Select is an annual award given by American Mensa to five board games that are "original, challenging and well designed".[6][7]
The following is a list of notable board game designers. Role-playing games are not included in this list, but can be found in Role playing game designers.
