[[Image:Richard Garfield.jpg|right]] [[Richard Garfield]] is a game designer most notable for creating [[Magic: The Gathering]]. While not majorly involved in Magic currently, he still contributes to the design of some sets. He has a BS in Computer Mathematics and a PhD in Combinatorial Mathematics. You can read his thesis [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022314X92900784 here], but if you don't understand it, it's sufficient to say he's good at [[probability|math]]. His games tend to have quite a logical bent to them. If you're playing a Richard Garfield game, stack your bonuses. == Genealogy == Richard's great-great-grandfather is 20th U.S. President, James A.
