Klaus Teuber

Teuber won the Spiel des Jahres ("Game of the Year") award four times: for The Settlers of Catan, Barbarossa, Drunter und Drüber and Adel Verpflichtet. Teuber's By Hook or Crook, published by Avalon Hill in 1991, was an early import of a German-style game into the American market.[2]

Teuber retired from his profession as a dental technician to become a full-time game designer in 1999. As of 2007, he lives in Darmstadt with his wife Claudia. They have two sons, Guido and Benny.[3]
