I don't know of any Scottish game designers?

There's only one answer if we are talking about wargames. Charles Grant link

Pretty much ignore nationality. A good design is a good design.
enfant perdus	07 May 2015 6:08 a.m. PST
Are we talking about game designers who are Scottish or designers of Scottish games? This is what happens when a language loses its declensions.

What an odd question.

There are certainly a number of Border Reaver miniatures games. I am not informed enough to vote on which designer did the best one.
Editor in Chief Bill	07 May 2015 8:20 a.m. PST
Barry Hilton is Scottish, too.

Thought you were after the 'best' Bill? Barry may be good but come on, Charles Grant!
Big Red	07 May 2015 9:44 a.m. PST
Yes, what an odd question.

If I remember correctly, a certain Robert Louis Stevenson was very interested in wargames – maybe he designed some rules for himself!?

Best at being Scottish or the best at designing games?

McJimmy's Battle of Culloden board game, this comes with a bottle of scotch and a loaded pistol, no Englishmen are allowed to purchase or play the game ;) although I have it on authority a few have pretended to be Scots with predictable results in the playing :) (no, no slurs intended to my cousins gents) actually there is a RPG game that is Scottish made called 'Slayer' ? If I recall correctly and believe for those that do the RPG thing a real grand fun game.

I spoke to Barry today, he wasn't quite sure what a games designer was :)

Do we get to do the best Danish designer? :)
