Donald W. Scott is a board game and jigsaw puzzle designer. His most recent game is an award winning party game called Luck of the Draw.

Donald was born in East Aurora, New York. His father worked for many years as a freelance toy developer. Donald credits much of his mechanical ability and interest in new products to this environment as many of his toys as a child were the disassembled components of his father's work projects.

Donald demonstrated an early interest in computer programming. His first professional work was as a network administrator and computer programmer at the age of 16. He attended the State University of New York at Buffalo for three years concentrating in computer science and English.

Professionally, Donald spent nearly 13 years with Buffalo Games, Inc., a game and jigsaw puzzle producer in Buffalo, New York. In 2000, he left his position as Director of Product Development to develop products for license. Among these have been several jigsaw puzzles, including the Connect'Em series, Quote-O-Graphs, the 3D PuzziSphere, the Fortune Series, and the X-Puzzles. He is currently vice president of Don Scott Associates, Inc., a product development and licensing concern focusing on the toy industry.

Donald resides in Boston, New York with his wife and two children.
