Why board game designer Cole Wehrle left Leder, and what comes next Cole Wehrle tells me that Buried Giant Studios is the key to producing bigger, better, faster board games, and he has PLENTY of ideas ready.

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 !

Cartoon-like illustration of a blue haired and bearded giant's head, with closed eyes and a smile, nestled amid a green and brown forest and purple mountains. Two houses are visible in front of the giant, while another is perched atop its head. Image from board game publisher Buried Giant Studios head and shoulders photo of a man with brown hair, swept to one side in a parting, and a brown beard. He wears a blue and white striped shirt and is wearing a grey-green rucksack. A library is visible, but blurred, in the background, as is a marble-like bust. Cole Wehrle, Root and Arcs designer and co-founder of Buried Giant Studios. Head and shoulders photo of a smiling man with short, spiky brown hair and a full brown beard, wearing a maroon button-up top. He is in front of a brick wall. Kyle Ferrin, board game artist and co-founder of Buried Giant Studios. Cartoon-like illustration of a woodland, featuring a large tree, river, shed-like building and more trees in the background. Four anthropomorphic nimals dressed in cloaks and medieval-style clothes look at each other from each corner - a mouse, bird, cat and raccoon. The word ROOT is visible in the centre of the image. Box cover for the board game Root.

Root and Arcs designer Cole Wehrle, style-defining artist Kyle Ferrin lead staff exodus from Leder Games to form new board game publisher Buried Giant Studios:
