"Actual cat not included with base game" ~ BGG 😂😂😂
Guildlands has cracked the top 10,000 games on BGG. Maybe not the loftiest of milestones, but were pretty excited about it!
Here are our top 15 games from #Origins2026 1- Cat Earth 2- Shadow Ninjas 3- Flora Funga *SOLD OUT 4- Guildlands 5- Feed the Kraken 6- 5 Minute Mystery 7- One Hit Heroes 8- Loot 9- 5 Minute Dungeon Curses Exp. 10- 5 Minute Dungeon 11- Karak 12- Psychobabble 13- Cat Ass Trophy 14- Long Cow 15- Zensu
We had an amazing time at #Origins2026. Lots of game demos. Thank you to all our staff and volunteers who made it such a success. Tournament of Pieces speed puzzling events sponsored by Cobble Hill were a hit. The feedback from participants was very positive. See you in Columbus next year!!!
In 2021 we manufactured 1,476 units of Goderich-Opoly, all of which were shipped to retailers in Goderich. It's a small town on the shores of Lake Huron, population circa 8,500. I checked. It's just over 4,000 km away from where I live. How does Goderich-Opoly end up in a local thrift store???
Here comes trouble, this is Storm, showing us how Cat Earth should be played.
Project Skyline is a fantastic new board game by rookie designer Florian Maas released in Europe by Piatnik. #OutsetMedia is co-publishing in the US and Canada. We originally scheduled 3 events for #gencon2026 which sold out fast. So we've added 1 more event at noon on Thursday.

Ape Town is a new area control game from Reiner Knizia. Curious? Phil does an excellent job explaining the game. Still curious after watching? We are running 5 learn-to-play events at #gencon2026. 1 event sold out, 4 events still have space.

Karak #karak is ranked no. 14 on BGG for kids games. It's the perfect introductory dungeon crawler for people new to the hobby. Easy to learn and always fun! We are running 4 learn-to-play events for Karak at #gencon2026 and 2 more for Karak II.
A perk of working at a board game company. Lunchtime adventure exploring the catacombs of Karak. #karak #outsetmedia
We originally set up 20 learn-to-play events for Cat Earth at #gencon2026 but the events all sold out within a couple of days when registration opened. Exciting news!! We've just made 11 more events available. www.gencon.com/event-catalo...

Thanks Ken. Always wonderful to have you as part of the Outset Media crew.
Ken Boyter@kenboyter.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat a fantastic UK Games Expo 2026 has been! Great to catch up with friends and meet new gamers. A massive thanks to all at Outset Media Games for inviting me to demo myself and Kedric's two games The Crooked Crown and Guildlands. See you all in Essen?
Just wanted to share this Guildlands review on BGG. boardgamegeek.com/thread/36706...
First Play - so much fun! | Guildlands
I discovered Guildlands at a business fair this year and was immidately enarmoured with its effortless merge of a fantasy theme and strategic tile placement. That love has only grown since we played G...

With travel to Birmingham for UK Games Expo, I haven't been checking BGG as often. UPDATE: we've surpassed the 200 ratings milestone 🥳 For everyone who has played Guildlands and shared their thoughts on BGG, thank you. We appreciate all feedback immensely - both positive or negative.
Outset (Dave Manga) 🔜 Gen Con@outsetgames.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe're just 13 ratings away from reaching 200 ratings on BGG for Guildlands. If you've played the game but haven't left your thoughts on BGG, please do so. It would be a cool milestone to reach.

UK Games Expo #UKGE2026 was a HUGE success! THANK YOU to everyone at Outset Media and Cheatwell Games, our inventors, and all the volunteers who worked hard to demo our games! There were 19 of us working the booth, 10 of whom travelled from Canada. Will be posting our top 15 games later today.
We're almost done setting up at UK Games Expo #UKGE2026. Stop by tomorrow and demo some games (Hall 3A Booth #318).
8 days to go! Cat Earth at Stand 3A-318 might be the most obviously correct game premise ever made. Flat world. Giant cats. Your houses go off the edge. The box IS the board. Thirty minutes of beautiful chaos. I am very ready for this. #UKGamesExpo #BoardGames #TabletopGames
We've got a great booth this year at UK Games Expo (Hall 3A Booth #318) #UKGE2026. We are bringing lots of games to play. Added bonus: the inventors of Guildlands, Shadow Ninjas, Flora Funga, Cadaver, Cat Earth, Feed The Kraken (and more) will be in our booth signing games.

Poppy is a cat... so she gave Cat Earth zero thumbs up... but she had a grand old time. I'm guessing she won!!! For those of you wanting to give Cat Earth a try, we will have copies at UK Games Expo and Origins. We're also running learn-to-play events at Gen Con. #OutsetMedia #CatEarth
Phil does a great job explaining Shadow Ninjas. Better than I can do, that's for sure! And if you don't want to learn about Shadow Ninjas, it's still worth a listen for his wonderfully calming voice 😀 #shadowninjas #outsetmedia

Raven (aka Big Ray) is wondering if he will be getting royalties on Cat Earth. He needs money for more treats. #outsetmedia #catearth
We're just 13 ratings away from reaching 200 ratings on BGG for Guildlands. If you've played the game but haven't left your thoughts on BGG, please do so. It would be a cool milestone to reach.
