A cool wind moves the surface of Motala Ström as players gather at Sankt Olai — the river daring you to follow its cut through red-brick mills and iron bridges. The city game drops you into the Industrial Landscape where chimneys no longer smoke but the stones still keep stories. You walk under archways, across cobbled streets, and pause at bridges that frame the current and the city’s past.
