The big surprise for me... Crown the Unicorn appeared on our best-sellers list in 14th spot. This is a quick little tile game for kids. Very cute... but still a kids game at Pax Unplugged. Didn't expect to see this sell so well. Similar to Zensu, we sold out before the last day.

Ape Town was 12th on the list. This is our new Knizia game.
Originally published in Europe by Piatnik, we have localized Ape Town for North America. I like this game more and more each time I play. We had a few copies at Gen Con, but Pax Unplugged was the first con since the game launched.

Guildlands was 7th on the best-sellers list. Outset does localize games for a lots of companies, but most of the games we publish are in the party/kids/trivia sphere. This is our first real entry into the hobby game market. Still in it's infancy, but exciting to see it grow in popularity.

Zensu was 6th on our list of best-sellers, but would have placed higher if we hadn't sold out. We ran out very early - had 1 copy left to start the Sunday. People even bought all our demo copies. We should have brought more copies.
Zensu a surprisingly fun two-player abstract strategy game.

Reminds me of classics such as Schotten Totten but with new twists. Well worth a look!

What a great night. We had our pre-lauch party in Toronto for Guildlands (the official launch being at #GenCon2025).
Over 50 people in attendance. It was a great mix of retailers, content creators, and inventors - including the game's designers Ken Boyter and Kedric Winks.
Next stop Indianapolis.
