Think Like A Game DesignerCole Wehrle — Cute Creatures, Brutal Games, Asymmetric Design, and Subverting Expectations (#88)About ColeCole Wehrle is one of the most innovative minds in board game design today. Cole is a partner at Leder Games, but best-known as the creator of Root, the woodland war game that redefined asymmetric play. Cole’s work reaches far beyond cute meeples and clever mechanics, with a background in history and a career in academia, Cole approaches game design as a way to explore systems of power, narrative ambiguity, and the complexity of human behavior. In this episode, Cole and I dive deep into the tension between control and chaos, discussing how historical re...

Intertextual Experience: A Board Game Podcast#31 - Cole Wehrle: "The Cole Visitation"Intertextual Cardboard Experience is excited to start the new year in atypical fashion, and it couldn’t be more exciting. Cole Wehrle, Creative Director at Leder Games and Co-Founder of Wehrlegig Games, joins the show, and I had the bright idea of having us not talk about board games… In all seriousness, we do talk directly about board games a handful-ish times, but, for the most part, those thoughts are scattered between some deep and personal insights that Cole shares about a couple of other things: reading (specifically Pynchon) and running. Through Cole’s reflections on these topics, approaching a text...

Space-Biff! Space-Cast!Space-Cast! #39. Arcing Ever heard of Arcs? Cole Wehrle has! Today on the Space-Cast!, we're joined by the little-known indie designer himself to discuss Arcs from a few unusual angles: the debt it owes to trick-taking, the many literary inspirations behind the game, and its unusual development process. Also of note, some comparisons between Arcs and Brian Boru, a sidebar book recommendation, and Wehrle's wariness of Balatro. Truly, we're covering everything!

Big Talk – WFHBWehrlegig Games: Drew WehrleWhat started out as a side gig, a vanity project, has become Drew Wehrle’s day job. He and his brother Cole Wehrle founded the historical board game maker, Wehrlegig Games. Drew handles the production and business end of the operation while Cole is a noted game designer. They’ve produced two board games thus far: one dealing with the aftermath of the Russian and British colonial reigns in Afghanistan and the other with the people who benefitted from the East India Company’s control of the East Indies and the Indian subcontinent.
