On the 160th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, I sat down with Ryan Heilman and Wes Crawford from Wharf Rat Games. These two are the designers and creators of the new board game, The Pursuit of John Wilkes Booth, published by Blue Panther LLC. We had an excellent discussion about the history behind this Lincoln assassination-themed game, the process of designing and developing board games, and how board games can be a form of public history. Check out the video of our talk below:

I thoroughly enjoyed the interview with game designers Ryan Heilman and Wes Crawford. It was very interesting to hear them answer the questions about the details of playing “The Pursuit of John Wilkes Booth Game” in addition to how they came up with the idea, testing it, and then finally producing it.
