Every verified named designer credit represented in Bruno's current board-game catalogue. Uncredited and unresolved titles remain documented in the underlying inventory and are not guessed. Manually researched profiles keep their bounded editorial selections. Other profiles use up to ten games from a dated 2025-08-15 BGG data snapshot, ordered by snapshot Geek rating and voter count, then append every owned title not already represented. The sequence is a browsing aid, not a live or definitive career ranking.

39 of 350 portraits have an explicit reusable licence and are stored locally. Initials remain for the other 311; a source is never treated as reusable just because it is visible online.
