With Kevin Bacon as Bruno Faidutti
Shannon Appelcline (whoever that is) has a post about a gaming version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon using Faidutti. Don’t miss the involved chart further down in the article.
Update:
From the name I thought Shannon was some uber-geek female. However, a quick Googling reveals he’s a guy. That makes more sense. Any woman should have better things to do than drawing maps of the professional relationships of a B-level bath-shunning game designer.

Things that bother me about this:
1) I actually thought about doing this kind of thing once. There was a time when I gave a shit. I did this instead:

Good times.
2) Shannon Appleseed has colored regions that represent the countries Italy and France, but no Germany or US — the US is basically represented by similar colored regions representing publishers.
3) He has a region representing Avalon Hill, but Alan Moon is on the opposite side of the map. Presumably he didn’t know that Alan worked for AH?
4) WTF is a Yaquinto? Is that like a tangelo, only without the seeds?
5) Alex Randolph is in the shit-colored brown blob which is presumably Italy, or some part of Italy. . . Torino?
6) Bruno may be the most prolific, “connected” designer, but there isn’t one game of his I would willingly play again, save Diamant.

Shit-colored brown blob made me laugh…speaking of Faidutti’s games…

I had to look up “Puffin’ Billies”. That’s really specific.
