About Wolfgang Kramer
- Wolfgang Kramer (born 29 June 1942 in Stuttgart) is a German board game designer. Kramer formerly worked as an operations manager and computer scientist, but since 1989 he has worked full-time on game design.
- He has designed over 100 games, many which have been nominated for or have won the Spiel des Jahres.
- He frequently collaborates with other designers, notably Michael Kiesling and Richard Ulrich. A common feature of German-style board games, where players' scores are recorded on a track around the edge of the board, is known in Germany as the Kramerleiste in honour of Wolfgang Kramer.
- Kramer himself first used this method of score-tracking in his 1984 game, Heimlich & Co. Kramer is also an author of mystery novels.
- His works include Der Palast der Rätsel (The Palace of Mysteries) and Die Rätsel der Pyramide (The Mysteries of the Pyramid).
