I'd put the end of the golden age a few years past that, but I fully agree with the notion that the point where the game was at its best was long after he was in charge. He created a fun game, but not a game that people would continue to play for decades, and Magic R&D turned it into a game that I had far more fun with than anything he ever envisioned.

It's immediately obvious when you realize that despite all of the games he has invented, Magic, Robo Rally and King of Tokyo are his only real hits...

...and I think King of Tokyo/New York is absolute rubbish.

Some of his other games have their niche of players but very small by comparison. KeyForge was very flash-in-the-pan in terms of popularity.

He also designed the Netrunner rules that Android: Netrunner was based on, and that had such a committed community that when Wizards pulled the license from FFG, the fans just kept developing the game.

Niche - not a huge hit. Great games though.
