This sums up Guildlands perfectly. Great review from Meeple Mountain. We often hear that Guildlands feels unbalanced. We've logged just shy of 1,000 plays. While it may not seem so on your first play, once you've played the game a few times (and various guilds), those perceived inbalances go away.

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.

Here are our top 15 games from Pax Unplugged: 1- Shadow Ninjas 2- Feed The Kraken 3- 5 Minute Mystery 4- 5 Minute Dungeon 5- Curses! Foiled Again exp. 6- Zensu 7- Guildlands 8- One Hit Heroes 9- Karak 10- Loot 11- Pyschobabble 12- Ape Town 13- Cat Ass Trophy 14- Crown the Unicorn 15- Karak Regent

A marvellous lane battler style game from @cheatwellgames.bsky.social @outsetgames.bsky.social Reminds me of classics such as Schotten Totten but with new twists. Well worth a look!
