Hello glorious backers of Wu Wei!
I just wanted to reach out and make sure you know about our new game... Méthodologie: The Murder on the Links!
Take on the roles of suspect and sleuth from Agatha Christie’s acclaimed detective novel The Murder on the Links. Use your “little grey cells” to gather evidence, eliminate suspects, and ultimately level an accusation.
This game is a major departure from Wu Wei in terms of theme and game play. I wanted to make something accessible and easy to learn that contained new opportunities for strategic thinking. I feel like I've managed to put together a social deduction game that has huge replay value. It's also unique in that you get to play as the suspect AND the the sleuth.
Here's what Jonathan H. Liu from GeekDad had to say about it:
"Méthodologie is an intriguing game, and is a neat twist on murder mystery. It’s a mix of what I’d usually call a deduction game (like Clue) and a social deduction game (like Werewolf), because of the way that you do narrow down the possibilities, but there’s also room for bluffing and subterfuge. Although there is a scoring mechanism, it can be satisfying to correctly identify somebody’s cards even if you end up behind on the scoreboard.
If you enjoy high society and murder mysteries, it’s worth investigating!"
Thanks again for joining us for Wu Wei! I hope you'll continue to be part of the Gray Wolf Games Wolf Pack on our next adventure!
Best,
Justin

Howdy backers!
Wu Wei has passed through customs and has reached the distributor! It will take a few days to check in the inventory and then the games will be sent out to you! You good folks should start receiving games as early as next week.
I will be visiting the San Francisco warehouse in person to pick up some copies for myself. This will be my first time seeing the final product! I'm unbelievably excited.
Thank you so much for helping to make this happen!
Sincerely, Justin
P.S. I hope to see you at the launch party and on social media! Please check out the rest of this update for details!
Launch Party
We are having a launch party for Wu Wei on November 10th! The party is going to be held at a great place called Guild Hall in Burbank, California. If you are in the Los Angeles area, please come by and play in the tournament!
We will start taking online orders on November 10th! There is a very limited supply of games and we will sell out fast. As backers, you will already have the first copies of Wu Wei. I hope you love the game. If you do, please spread the word about Wu Wei so we can make more copies next year!
I'd love to hear your stories about playing Wu Wei! Please feel free to send me an email at [email protected] and share a few pictures of your game night. Feel free to tag us on social media with @graywolfgames and #playwuwei
Wu Wei is on a boat!

Howdy Backers!
I am pleased to tell you that Wu Wei is on a boat headed for San Francisco! This game has been a long time coming but it's finally on the way!
I'm on a boat!
As you may have seen on the news, Typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong and the surrounding area really hard. This is the exact area where the manufacturing is being done. It's been a really scary time there and hopefully everyone is okay. Fortunately, it looks like things are starting to get back to normal. The games are on a shipping container called YM Mutuality. You can actually track the voyage on https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9455870
Updated Website
I have been busy updating GrayWolfGames.com. Please take a look if you get a chance. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy hear them! Feel free to send me an email at [email protected]
That's it for now! More to come very soon! I'm beyond excited to send you the final product. Thanks again for being such a big part of the process!
Best, Justin

Howdy Backers!
The dice arrived at the factory on time! Unfortunately, the wood pieces are running behind schedule. Apparently it has been unseasonably rainy in the area of China where the wood is being produced so they are taking a little extra time to let the wood and paint dry. We're talking about the signature pieces of the game so I'm glad that they are focused on quality but it has pushed the schedule a bit. The games won't leave China until September 7th. Please see the revised shipping schedule below. I know! It's hard to wait three more weeks for this baby to be in your hands. Please hang tight. I think you'll be happy with the final result.
Peter from PandaGM has shared the following video with me showing the packaging process for the games. I can't wait to be holding the final product in my hands! I can't wait for you to be holding it in your hands!
Thanks for sticking with me through all the curve balls! Hopefully this is that last one. Wu Wei has 54 unique components in addition to all the printed materials. That makes this one of the most ambitious board game projects out there. I know it's torture but we are nearing the end of the marathon! Thanks again for your patience and good will!
Best, Justin

Howdy folks!
Things are moving forward slowly but surely! The final components (15,000 dice) will be delivered to the PandaGM factory in Shenzhen, China on August 10th. The games will be assembled and put on a container ship headed for San Francisco by August 20th. Ocean shipping and clearing customs will take 2-3 weeks and then the games will be delivered from the port to my distributor via truck.
Once the games are with the distributor, it will take up to two weeks to deliver your copy of Wu Wei to your door. All of this rigmarole means you will receive your game in September!
Thanks as always for sticking with me on this journey! I can't believe I'm going to be delivering my first published game to all of you. I'll be sending you updates at each step of the process until you all receive your copies of Wu Wei. Thanks again!
Best, Justin
