MOOOOooooo....

They design as a team, but Inka and Markus Brand have done some of my favorite games like Village, Murano, and Rajas of the Ganges.

Advanced Civilization

I was a co-designer of Advanced Civilization. Noting that I don't actively design anymore.

Hi! Thank you for your work!

It is so exciting to see Hargrave championing this cause and actively putting this information out there.

Eldritch Horror, Mansions of Madness 2, and Arkham Horror 3 were all developed by Nikki Valens and are some of my personal favorites!

Kingdom Builder

Qwirkle is a good family game (although not colorblind friendly) and designed by Susan McKinley Ross.

level 2

Sad to hear it's not colour-blind friendly. I've always been curious about this game and have thought of picking it up many times, but I am pretty colour-blind...

Through The Ages

Wingspan, by Elizabeth Hargrave

level 2

Seconded, and also add in Mariposas, which is a bit lighter but very fun, well-themed and is pretty unique IMO.

I can't think of many by solo women designers, but one of the designers of Lost Ruins of Arnak is a woman. Also, Flaminia Brasini is a part of the design team on several great Italian euro games, like Lorenzo il Magnifico, Coimbra, and Alma Mater.

Tom Russell of Hollandspiele is a non-binary person who uses female pronouns and has made some excellent games such as Irish Gauge and Northern Pacific.

level 1

Anyone mention Crystallo yet? Pretty great little solo game I'd highly recommend!

I know Joanna Kijanka co-designed Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North. I do like that game!
