In which an ace game designer gives me smart advice and I ignore nearly all of it.
On this SEASON FINALE of Flyover Culture, it's a giant-sized special episode all about tabletop games. First, Leder Games and Wehrlegig Games' Cole Wehrle (ROOT, OATH, PAX PAMIR) joins me to discuss his design process and what makes a "mean" game so enticing.
Then, I'm joined by The Critshow's Rev, Megan and Tass - plus WTIU's Kayte Young and Sam Schemenauer - to go head-to-head in a board game designing extravaganza. The results are wonderfully messy.
Check out Cole's work, including his new games ARCS and MOLLY HOUSE here:

I would actually LOVE a board game where you play as a cute dad and you fish, just not with those mechanics 😅
