Definition of a super fan.

Met this guy on Day 2 at PAXU. He loved 5 Minute Dungeon so much... he got himself a tattoo of his favourite character from the game.

THAT is the definition of a super fantastic.

One of my favourite stories from Day 2 at PAXU. On Day 1, the orange cat token from Shadow Ninjas disappeared. It was a mystery. This afternoon, someone came by our booth and brought by the missing token. He had accidentally slipped it into his pocket after a game demo. Welcome home orange ninja.

If playing regular sized Karak isn't quite fun enough for you... you can play our giant demo edition custom made for cons. It's the "novelty clown feet sized" version of Karak. Pax Unplugged booth #4219.

I really really really enjoyed this review of #Guildlands from Liege of Games. Very thoughtful analysis.

What made this video even better - the other game reviewed was Dirt & Dust from our good friends over at Albi.

Found out today that the word "parkade" is just a Canadian term. It's what we call a parking garage. I know there are lots of Canadianisms (like "double double") but was surprised about "parkade".

Any other Canadian terms you've been surprised to learn are just used in Canada?

My kids are all grown up. But I still love playing Karak. Which makes me soooooo happy that Outset is now the distributors for Karak in Canada and the USA. Our sister company Cheatwell Games @cheatwellgames.bsky.social will be distributing Karak in the UK.

Stock has arrived. We are now shipping!

OH NO.. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

We were booked at Sonder Hotel for PAXU. Sounds like the hotel defaulted on payments to Marriot, and the hotel shut down.

We had 9 rooms booked - for a total of 39 nights. Now what the heck are we supposed to do?!? Marriot is not helping.

This is going to be expensive.

Anybody looking for an excuse to visit Vanocuver? Now you have a reason!!!

Starting to get prepared for PAXU today, and took a peek at how Guildlands is doing on BGG. We're up to 83 ratings. While it may not seem like a lot of ratings to most of you... for us it is fantastic!!!

If you are heading to PAXU, please stop by and try Guildlands.

This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to enjoy my shopping spree that I won from @outsetgames.bsky.social. I can barely hold all of them!!

Check out this new podcast from the folks at So Very Wrong About Games. Many thanks for including Guildlands 🙏 and glad you enjoyed the game.

Ken Boyter is one of the game's co-inventors. We just wrapped up 4 days demoing Guildlands at Essen Spiel. Ken is also on Bluesky. @kenboyter.bsky.social
Many new games! INK, Guildlands, No Loose Ends, and more in our new episode! We also talk about tile-laying games, a genre we love. Perhaps most importantly, we address the conclusion of Fat Bear Week.
