This was a totally unexpected delight. Check out this wonderful conversation about one of the finest games ever designed.

All Systems Brough - 868-HACK Nick, Doug, Rob, Sarah, and Andy are joined by @shawndoublea.bsky.social, @colewehrle.bsky.social, and @wehrlegig.games to discuss the first game in our yearlong series covering @smestorp.bsky.social's work. secretlives.games/all-systems-...

That's Right - It's Emoria's First Annual THING OF THE YEAR Threadspaloozaganzarama. I only get one pick from each category. The deliberation session is sweaty and hours long and leads to friendships forever broken. But we come away with a list of some things I thought were cool. So. Worth it. 🧵

BOARD GAME: The incredibly produced, lovingly researched, and just ludicrously FUN Molly House by @miasmacorp.bsky.social and @wehrlegig.games Play as queer 1700s Londoners trying to find queer joy while being pursued by fascists. Throw parties and go cruising, or betray your own people to survive

It's been a while since we have been able to get @wehrlegig.games Molly House to the table. The game last night was a chaotic week 1 as we tried to remind ourselves of the rules, but after that things started to flow. I was almost able to squeak out a win, but in the end the raids got to us all.

Okay, as promised, here are my 25 boardgames that would make good presents for historians or the historically-inclined. - I've played them and enjoyed them - They have to have a historical theme or be related to the practice of history - They were within the first 25 I thought of...

No traitors, we all died. "We lived hard, we died young, we were bad bitches." "We threw lots of parties"

@wehrlegig.games MOLLY HOUSE is on BGA, & am finally tackling it with some of my 18C/game nerd gang today.

Really surreal to see Molly House included in both The Guardian's 30 best board games to play this Christmas and NPR's 50 best board games of 2025! What a year. @wehrlegig.games @colewehrle.bsky.social

🚨 Programming alert: Molly House is now in beta on Board Game Arena 🚨

I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

Drew and I have been overwhelmed by the support for the reprint campaign. If you've been looking for a copy of John Company or Molly House, this is your best chance to get a copy and the way that most directly supports us and our further efforts. www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

I'm going all early 19th century this year with Prelude to Leipzig and Persuasion. If you want to check out some of the most compelling designs out there, do yourself a favor and check out the Hollandspiele catalog!

This past weekend, I was delighted to attend @sdhistcon.bsky.social, where on Saturday I played not one, not two, but three games about selling opium. It was quite the day. Read about it here: spacebiff.com/2025/11/13/s...

Got to play Molly House again with my mom group Friday afternoon! The community survived this time and I won by a single a joy! But when the community survives, it feels like everyone is a winner!

John Company one of my favourite games of all time, absolutely worth checking out (as is Molly House). I have them both so using the Kickstarter to pick up Pax Pamir (and maybe some metal coins for JoCo...)

finally got a chance to play John Company this past weekend and it's really something special. can't wait to get my hands on both of these!

would you like to own two of the best games yet made? yes. and you can.

I'm in for the few bucks for the John Company updated cards. I'm glad that's being offered. Also in the extras are coins and other addons from previous kickstarters, including Pax Pamir stuff!

We are now live! If you want to grab a copy of the new printings, now's your best chance. www.kickstarter.com/projects/col... This is also a bit of a strange campaign for us. To be honest, I don't even think I've ever been as nervous about a launch. I suppose that needs some explaining 🧵

Molly House will have a little spot at Essen this year 🎉 If you can spare a thumb on BGG, we just got it listed on their preview page. Help our heavy queer party game climb the ranks! boardgamegeek.com/geekpreview/...

You want Molly House

If you’re at all interested in the thematic potential of board games (and I mean that in the literary sense, not like theme on a amusement park ride), pick up Molly House on this run if you can. It’s an affecting work that touches on desire, community, jealousy, and survival.

Today we're announcing a small change in plans on our fall schedule. I'm still busy with the second edition of An Infamous Traffic and Hell Raisers is making great progress, but higher demand than anticipated and the vagaries of Trump's stupid trade policies means we need to get reprinting!
