Jesse had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Cole Wehrle from Leder Games and founder of Wehrlegig Games! In this new interview format we will be touching base with leaders and designers within our industry and finding out what makes them Quack. 

In this session we talked about Coles approach to combining history with mechanical systems and the nuances of that merging; all of which started since childhood and continued growing throughout his professional career. We highlight some of his most ambitious designs like: Root, Oath, Pax Pamir, John Company and more, and discuss what might be coming next.

Sit down with us on the banks of the board game pond and lets have a conversation.
