Textures of Play

Textures of Play: A lecture by board game designer Cole Wehrle
Join acclaimed board game designer Cole Wehrle as he explores the relationship between play and material design in board games. He’ll share his approach to the physical elements of board games-cards, pieces, and the boards themselves-and how the materiality of each game invites a unique mode of play. This object-based exploration will be moderated by Bard Graduate Center (BGC) PhD candidate Nicholas de Godoy Lopes.

Pax Pamir 2nd Ed. is one of my favorite games, and John Company 2nd Ed. is amazing. Cole is fascinating to hear speak on these (and many more) design topics because he conveys a sense of deep intention and nuance. Cheers for posting this conversation.
