The Waldron Art Center put together a gallery installation on local game makers 🤗

Cole and I finally did our annual livestream about all things Wehrlegig and chatted our big plans for the year 🎉

Join Drew and I today at noon (central US) for Wehrlegig's annual Year Ahead stream. We'll be talking about joining Buried Giant Studios, the status of our current projects, and what we are working on next. www.twitch.tv/wehrlegiggames

A letter from Saint Paul to those last few friends and family who have somehow become indifferent to ongoing campaign of terror in the Twin Cities:

I wanted to know who designed an old board game I loved. I found out he made over fifty games he was never credited for, in a career spanning more than three decades. youtu.be/dTepZ7qM24Q

The plans for the future of @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social have me so excited. Arcs expansionS? Plural? Magic school murder mystery? Grand geopolitics with @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social art? Not to mention more resources for @wehrlegig.games ! www.wargamer.com/board-games/...

The past several weeks have been dominated by the work of setting up Buried Giant and completing our existing projects (Oath: NF and the WGG reprints). But, we've got an incredible team and I can already feel the schedule relaxing. Heck, I even spent a big portion of this morning working on Arcs!

Played #MollyHouse today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. The community won, but my friend and I both lost after being hanged due to our major indictments at the same time that the community won 😔 RIP #boardgames #queergames @wehrlegig.games

12 days until launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Highlighting another game we love from @wehrlegig.games

Hey, guess what: buriedgiantstudios.com

I have an important announcement. Kyle and I are going to be leaving Leder Games to start a new venture. It has been an honor to spend the past eight years working with them. We wish them all the best of luck, and cannot wait to show you what we are working on next. ledergames.com/blogs/news/a...

I played Molly House by @miasmacorp.bsky.social and @colewehrle.bsky.social tonight with some queer friends. From very early on, we played essentially completely cooperatively, as we struggled to bring our community joy. 1/3

Got @wehrlegig.games's Pax Pamir to the table again after a long while! Phenomenal game as usual - Afghan and British coalitions neck and neck until the final Dominance check.

We have exciting news of our 2026 convention dates, including the all-new SDHistNorth in the Twin Cities July 11-12! Jan. 31: SDHist Winter Quarters 2026 June 27: SDHist AmRevCon 2026 July 11-12: SDHistCon North 2026 November 6-9: SDHistCon Summit 2026 Details: sdhist.com/save-the-dat...

where i challenge everyone to talk to a librarian and challenge boardgaming to break the shackles of victory. had a wonderful time chatting with @brendanmcleod.com and @nictringali.bsky.social about my work with @wehrlegig.games and for @gmtgames.bsky.social

FOLLOW JO they make impossibly cool shit, including the best board game released in 2025, Molly House

In 2026, I'm releasing my next game: WENDYBUXXX. Play as song characters brought to life by singer Wendy Miasma and forced to compete as lifestyle influencers to promote her new necrocurrency*, WENDYBUXXX. Gain the most followers by setting and following trends, while balancing controversy.

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...

Celebrating the end of an INCREDIBLE Kickstarter campaign with a playtest of An Infamous Traffic: Second Edition. Come join! @colewehrle.bsky.social

At #SDHISTCON, @wehrlegig.games led a game of "John Company" where people played as teams and wrote letters back and forth from India. The letters are absolute gold. I AM ROLLING! 🪙 😂

We're streaming tonight! Hang with the brothers Wehrle as we show off some dreams and schemes for the John Company Companion web app we're working on. Starting soon!

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 🧵

We are SO back! Game developer panel for #TIPC4 with Leyla, @wisproy.bsky.social, and @colewehrle.bsky.social to talk about the development of historical video games! Tune in over at www.twitch.tv/streamingthepast
