The Deepening Mystery of Méthodologie
In Méthodologie: The Murder on the Links, players have a hand of cards that consist of characters, locations, and objects. Each one of these cards also has its own point value, rank, and set (transportation, trappings, evidence, etc.) The game is played in two distinct phases…
The Business of Board Games
The creation of Wu Wei: Journey of the Changing Path and Gray Wolf Games, LLC has been an amazing experience but it also feels a bit like trying to get to the end of the original Oregon Trail video game. I’ve been updating backers on my successful Kickstarter…
Design Lock and Kickstarter Prep
Front and Back Covers... Done! The box cover has been in process for quite some time. I am pleased to say that it is finally fully realized. One of the last elements to join the front cover was the empress! As I got serious about designing Wu Wei I started to really...
Journey’s End… Kickstarter Beginning
The Rulebook Is Finally Done!!! Waves of relief continue to hit me this week as the rulebook for Wu Wei: Journey of the Changing Path comes into sharp focus. This year has been particularly challenging as the rules and components went through their final...

The Ongoing Evolution of Wu Wei
The Latest and Greatest Back in August of 2016, I sent out 8 prototypes around the world to play testers. These brave souls agreed to read the rule book and attempt to play the game while I was not present to explain the finer points of the rules. This is typically...
The Genesis of a New Tabletop Project
Getting Started The minimum amount of time required to make a half-way decent board game seems to fall in the 2-3 years range. That's the equivalent of how long it would take to get your masters degree. And trust me when I tell you that the pay is about the same....
