Georgian England saw London quickly growing into one of the largest cities in Europe. As the city grew, coffee houses equally gained importance in society. For a mere penny, customers could purchase a cup of coffee and gain admission to these new spaces where they could learn the news of the day and perhaps meet other local residents and discuss mutual concerns. At the same time, some of these establishments were the birthplace of a new community. They became a place where people could explore gender and sexuality among like-minded people and this place became known as a Molly House by Jo Kelly and Cole Wehrle from Wehrlegig Games with art by Rachel Ford.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/05/24/molly-house-saturday-review/Useful LinksMolly House: https://wehrlegig.com/products/molly-houseRulebook: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1gq7h9i9i5aeiwo2f3rpk/Molly-House-Rules-BGG.pdf?rlkey=nutkkrax4h7rf42rcfqjbyojg&e=1&dl=0Wehrlegig Games: https://wehrlegig.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/349750/molly-housePandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Arcs review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2024/11/02/arcs-saturday-review/Oath review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2021/11/27/oath-chronicles-of-empire-and-exile-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: Sarabande, Suite No. 4 in D minor, arranged for strings by George Frideric Händel from Classicals.deMusic: Cinematic Trailer Music 02, Cinematic Orchestral Action Trailer by Gregor Quendel from Classicals.deMuisc: Cinematic Trailer Music 05, Cinematic Cello Arpeggio Trailer by Gregor Quendel from Classicals.deSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠

SMTT sits down with game designer, Jo Kelly, to discuss their newly released Molly House, along with Cole Wehrle of Wehrlegig Games. Tune in to hear more about the inspiration behind Molly House, as well as the process of researching this important -- but often under-represented -- moment for queer history in the UK!

¡Bienvenidos jugadores! Hoy nos toca ración de "En Caliente" para despedir la semana santa con un repaso exhaustivo al hit más reciente de Cole Wehrle, Arcs, en concreto a su mega expansión "The Blighted Reach". Cube y Torke nos descubren su experiencia después de seis partidas jugando con esta expansión en unas jornadas maratonianas. ¿Tú también tienes ganas de que llegue Arcs en español? ¡Déjanos en comentarios qué te ha parecido el episodio!

¡Bienvenidos jugadores! Vente a celebrar con nosotros que Samuel se ha pasado el Oathsworn y, de la emoción, ha roto su micro normal (por eso se oye algo peor en este episodio, pero que no cunda el pánico, para el siguiente está arreglado). Además, Fantastijavi nos habla del Habemus Papam, la campaña de Gamefound que está activa durante algunos días más, mientras que Torke nos trae un extenso análisis del Molly House, la última rarunada de Cole Wehrle y Jo Kelly. Además también se habla del Daybreak, Señor de los Anillos de Bazas y del Star Trek Captain's Chair ¡Al lío!

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 where it's trying to meet you, and other ideas that Cole elaborates a lot more eloquently than I could put here, beautiful intersections in these hobbies are highlighted, demonstrating how those intersections translate into lifestyle choices and creative approaches.Wehrlegig GamesLeder GamesCole on BlueskyIntroduction (0:00)A little bit of context behind the idea of the episode and a formative gaming memory.“Beyond the Board Game” (10:00)This section explores Cole's experiences and thoughts reading Gravity's Rainbow (amongst other related topics).“What does running mean to you?” (58:26)Short answer: a lot (for both of us). But Cole shares a powerful account of his running history here, and we just chat about running for a bit.Wrap-up Questions (1:26:00)A text on Cole's mind and what work you should be on the lookout for.Random note: Listening back to this episode, I noticed that I said some iteration/tense of "(insert person here) tried to do (insert something here)" a couple of times, and I say that with no negative connotation. It's meant to be something where I'm trying to acknowledge authorial intent, not saying that whoever tried to do something didn't (probably beyond unnoticeable and/or is being heard the way I intended it to be—just a phrase that gave me a slight pause).The episode logo is me trying to sketch a version of the kid on the cover of Fort that's holding a book but with them running instead of standing and shouting. My apologies to Kyle Ferrin for butchering that.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you like this show, liking it on whatever platform you listen to and writing a review would mean so much!

It's a U.S. Election Day spectacular as Hunter and game designer Cole Wehrle (Root, Oath, Arcs) sit down to talk about one of the foundational games of the RTS genre. Does it hold up? Did it see the future? How good is it?

The spacefaring cultures were moving their forces through the gates and across the systems, changing the control in the clusters in the Reach. The balance of the court was also no longer guaranteed. Agents were making their influence known and securing their positions. It didn't take long for the first battles to start, damaging cities and spaceports and leading to captives and trophies. Maneuvering was getting almost impossible and the only way to move fleets was in Arcs by Cole Wehrle from Leder Games.

"King Me": A Defense of King-Making in Board Game Design, Cole Wehrle, GDC, 2019.  

Gumbo Live! is back with a new fall season, and you don't even need to subscribe to TV Guide to get the new fall lineup!  In our first episode, we chat with MARK MCGEE, one of the owners of the indie publisher, HOW TO STEAM BROCCOLi, who designed one of our favorite little card games this year, TETHER.  We chat about how Mark got the inspiration for the game, some of the challenges and benefits of self-publishing, and do a deep dive into the mechanics and gameplay.  Then it is on to some talk about some spicy hot games we've played recently!  First up is a discussion of Leder Games' hit from Cole Wehrle, ARCS! Mark and BJ have both played the base game a number of times and they have thoughts!  Then BJ gives a wildly Frankensteinen review of his recent plays of ITS A WONDERFUL WORLD from Lucky Duck Games (and available on BGA if you want to try it yourself.)  Does BJ love it or hate it? You'll have to decide for yourself!  Finally, we enjoyed a rousing game of THE ENVIE GAME with Mark and the Chat Krewe! Mark's got a toughie, so tighten up your shoe laces and start running to your BGG listings to see if you can guess which game Mark has a hankering to play right now -- and why.  Laissez les bon temps rouler!  Get more information about TETHER right here including links to how to purchase the game: https://howtosteambroccoli.com/ ** Complimentary copies of Tether and Its A Wonderful World were provided to the Gumbo by the publishers. **

Nick and Hannah both love board games. There I said it. So what are they doing in a Civics 101 episode? Well, from Student Council and Model UN to CIA intelligence acquisition scenarios, there is a fine line between games and simulation. We learn more about things when we pretend to do them. Today we talk to three designers about their civic-centric games; Tory Brown of Fort Circle Games discusses Votes for Women, Cole Wehrle of Wehrlegig Games breaks down John Company, and Non Breaking Space explains Cross Bronx Expressway, an upcoming game from GMT.

 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!

Ruel, Chris, Ray and I join forces with Cole Wehrle (designer of Root and others) plus all of the contributors to the channel to bring you the best games of the year, according to us!

Not only do we count down the 16 best agmes of the year, but Cole Wehrle does a very engaging and insightful interview with the gang!

We've got one more week before we finally go through the arduous process of adding Starcraft to our list as our 100th game, and there's still too much to talk about. Today, we wanted to focus on multiplayer, but even within that topic there is too much to discuss. So for today's presentation we were joined by board game designer and friend of the show Cole Wehrle to talk about the beautiful cacophony that existed in Starcraft custom games multiplayer. Equal parts nonsense and game design playground, many entire genres of games were born out of the toolkit available to anyone inside Starcraft.

We spent a week hanging out with the fine folks over at Leder Games and learned more about their ongoing projects while we were there. Nick Brachmann joined us to walk through everything he's planning to add to Ahoy in its upcoming expansions and Cole Wehrle followed up with us to show us more of Arcs' development. 11:05 - The Ahoy additions add new complexity and richness to the strategy, which is something we've really been craving for that game. 44:35 - As for Arcs, we focus the conversation on the more TI-adjacent mechanics like negotiation heavy Summits, Edicts, and Events as well as talk about the thematic Flagships.

In this episode, Soren interviews tabletop designer Cole Wehrle, best known for his work on Root, Oath, Pax Pamir, and John Company.

Listener Spotlight "Kary" is a teacher from North Carolina She found out about Board Game Faith through Facebook! Game she's digging:  Played "Sequence" for the first time and really enjoyed it. What is awesome about her?  Waking up at 5 AM! Why do you listen to BGF?  The awesome hosts.

Cole Wehrle has designed Pax Pamir, John Company and Infamous Traffic as well as fan favorites Root, Oath and (most recently) Arcs. We chat primarily about his historical designs, discussing Kevin Zucker's Napoleon's Last Battles, second editions, model-driven history versus polemics, and much more. 

With the end of the year and thus the end of the season upon us, we do our customary close out episode by playing a game we were so-so on for our first play and see if maybe our feelings could be different. We're playing Root again (for three of us) and for the first time (for one of us). Designed by Cole Wehrle and published in 2018 by Leder Games. Post your comments to Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast or email us at firstturntabletop@gmail.com. Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe! Until next week, play more games!

Replete with a robust menagerie in this episode, we perhaps begin to see why anthropomorphic animals seem to feature in every other game lately. We have Dalmations (plus a cow named Doog trying to impersonate a Dalmation), horsies, goats, weasels and wombats (seldom do we see such an august alliteration!), meeses (not to be confused with mooses), and some needed stinkin' badgers. Not a great petting zoo, sure--o of limited utility in a game of Ark Nova--but an impressive collection nonetheless.Games Played Last Week:02:05 -Spots (Alex Hague, Jon Perry, and Justin Vickers, CMYK, 2022)02:20 -Long Shot: The Dice Game (Chris Handy, Perplext, 2022)03:37 -Mountain Goats (Stefan Risthaus, BoardGameTables.com, 2020)06:10 -Mysterium Park (Oleksandr Nevskiy and Oleg Sidorenko, Libellud, 2020)09:08 -Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood (Jamie Jolly, Shadowborne Games, 2022)15:50 -Weasel-Tech (Ivan Sorensen, Nordic Weasel Games, 2021)21:22 -Hand-to-Hand Wombat (Matthew Inman, Elan Lee, & Cory O'Brien, Exploding Kittens, 2022)25:02 -Root: The Marauder Expansion (Nick Brachmann, Patrick Leder, Cole Wehrle, and Joshua Yearsley, Leder Games, 2022)28:45 -Capital Lux 2: Generations (Eilif Svensson & Kristian Amundsen Østby, Aporta Games, 2020)29:22 -I.S.S.

Ben and Matt revisit Grand Austria Hotel with the Let's Waltz expansion before doing a deep dive with their initial impressions of the 2022 release John Company, Second Edition by Cole Wehrle.  Afterwards, they discuss the expectations they carry — perhaps unfairly — into a game night.

The Durrani Empire had just collapsed and large swathes of Central Asia had fallen into disarray. It was an ideal opportunity for the ferengi to impose their power over the region and fight out their rivalries somewhere far away from their daily politics. The foreigners were completely unaware of how the local Afghan leaders were manipulating them to their own benefit. They played their own "Great Game" with these superpowers and knew that the imperial might would not survive for long. There was never going to be a Pax Pamir: Second Edition by Cole Wehrle from Wehrlegig Games.

Meehan, Liv and Chase get together to talk about their time with the latest game from Root and Oath creator Cole Wehrle, Arcs, plus much more! Meehan crawls back into the dungeons of Gloomhaven Digital, Liv revisits a classic card game in 3 Card Knock and Chase has been venturing through the Nordic fantasy of Symbaroum. We also look ahead to Magic: The Gathering's 30th anniversary plans, consider the launch of a new Kickstarter rival in Backerkit's crowdfunding platform and delight in the Muppets-meets-Lord of the Rings whimsy of upcoming RPG Land of Eem. That's all before we come up with our dream summer camps based on board games, which you can bet would be more fun than the very real Monopoly Summer Camp.

Much art is discussed this week, from French Romantics, to pirate stuff, to conspiracist vision boards, to whatever Walker is doing when he uses clothespins on felt. Mark wonders whether he can justify leaving in dead air and calling it "bold use of negative space," but the deeper worry is that too many people would prefer the silence.

For our third episode, Eric Wier and Greg Wier talk about how their hobby time has recently been occupied by playing various board games, including an asymmetric wargame called Root, designed by Cole Wehrle and released by Leder Games. They talk about how they remain engaged in Games Workshop's settings, but have slowly lost interest in playing the games associated with them. Their interest has turned towards more mechanically-tuned board games. They talk about how the board game Root builds a compelling narrative through its artwork and game mechanics, telling the story of anthropomorphic animals battling over control of a fantasy woodland. They also touch on the growing tournament scene and how you can get involved in the game via their digital versions, in addition to the physical board game. Learn more about Root and get it digitally!

It was quiet in the deep, dark wood. Everything was still and nothing stirred - but everyone was ready. The cats had taken up their position in every clearing, six birds were waiting patiently by their roost in one corner of the forest, the racoon had taken cover deep in the woods and the crows were biding their time in a handful of clearings of their choice. The moment was near. It was time to decide who was the best animal in the woodland, who was the Root by Cole Wehrle from Leder Games.

The long anticipated title from Cole Wehrle, Oath: Chronicle of Empire and Exile, has finally arrived. On today's episode we dive deep into the world of Oath as we share our thoughts and impressions, as well as how the game plays and what makes it stand out from the crowded genre of "area-control." We discuss some recent plays as well as some other new games we've recently added to the collection. We continue our board game mechanic highlight this week with "real time games." We also announce our winner from last week's contest!
