Volko Ruhnke Talks Drachen – His Next Big Wargame (Part 1)

In Part 1 of our exclusive interview, we sit down with acclaimed designer Volko Ruhnke — creator of Fire in the Lake and the COIN series — to talk about his upcoming game Drachen. Volko shares insights into the design process behind Drachen, how it explores the early days of military aviation and trench warfare, and what sets it apart from his previous historical games. We dive into his inspirations, the challenges of representing aerial combat, reconnaissance and innovation, and how Drachen fits within his larger body of work. If you’re a fan of wargames, historical design, or Volko’s unique approach to modelling conflicts, this first part of our conversation offers a fascinating look at what’s next from one of the most innovative minds in modern board gaming.
