Reiner Knizia is my favorite game designer of all time. I love how he takes familiar games and "bends" [1] them into new games by applying the right incentives into other games. For example, Lost Cities starts off looking like Solitaire, but when I play it I feel like I am using skills of reading my opponents hands that I learned from my (brief) bridge days.

If you are a gamer, I cannot recommend highly enough Tigris and Euphrates, Ra, Lost Cities, or Samurai

[1] I am trying to make a General Relativity metaphor here.
