Off the Page Games launches Off the Page Games Unbound, launching with The Seekers including a Comic Tie-In

The Seekers

Off the Page Games has announced a new spin-off brand called Off the Page Games Unbound. This brand will be run by the folks at Off the Page Games, so expect the same quality and novel concepts. These games, however, will not be bound by comic book licenses.

Off the Page Games is known industry-wide as a prestige brand that works with indie comic book creators to bring their intellectual property to the tabletop. While the parent brand will maintain this focus, Off the Page Games Unbound will be free to explore and create other worlds. The imprint launches later this year with their inaugural game, The Seekers, designed by Jay Cormier and Sen-Foong Lim.

To help bridge the gap between the two brands, Off the Page Games Unbound has hired Chris Schweizer, an award-nominated comic book creator, and illustrator Rocio Ogñenovich to create a series of comics based on The Seekers. Schweizer is no stranger to Off the Page Games as he’s collaborated with the publisher to turn his graphic novel series, The Creeps, into a family board game coming out this fall. The Seekers webcomic will be released weekly leading up to the crowdfunding campaign for the board game. Physical copies of these stories will also be included with the final product.

The Seekers, designed by the same duo that designed the hit game MIND MGMT, aims to introduce families to the hidden movement genre of games. One player takes on the role of the sneaky Mushroom, who is trying to collect the crystals, while the other players, who are acting as the Seekers, are trying to find and catch the Mushroom.

Off the Page Games Unbound will debut with The Seekers later this year on Kickstarter!

Next up for Off the Page Games is the release of 4 new titles this fall: Grendel, The Creeps, Corps of Discovery: Ultimate 2nd Edition, and Corps of Discovery Duo.

Gift Guide: Off the Page Games’ Corps of Discovery, a board game based on the Image Comics series!

Looking for something comic related for that fan in your life for the holidays? Then consider the board game, Corps. of Discovery from Off the Page Games.

Take command of Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery Expedition and lead them on a cross-country mission to explore the land . . . and kill demonic monsters. You’ll have to form an uneasy alliance with the local indigenous nations to send the creatures back to whatever hell spawned them, all while using logic and deduction to acquire the resources needed to survive the never-ending challenges posed by the harsh terrain.

Off The Page Games launches Grendel: The Game of Crime and Mayhem

From Off the Page Games, the publisher of the newly released Corps of Discovery: A Game Set in the World of Manifest Destiny and the Harvey-nominated hit game, MIND MGMT: The Psychic Espionage “Game” comes another thrilling game based on a hit indie comic. Grendel: The Game of Crime and Mayhem is a highly asymmetric, yet very approachable, game for 1-4 players that is now funding on Kickstarter.

The game is designed by Alara Cameron and Sen-Foong Lim and is based on the graphic novel Grendel, created by Matt Wagner. Grendel wants to exert his control over New York City using fear, while his nemesis Argent tries to bring him to justice. The Mob try to win back their turf from Grendel, and the Police are trying to restore order. Each faction uses a different mechanic: Grendel pulls chits from a bag, the Mob allocate dice, the Police move around a rondel, and Argent uses deck building to push his luck.

As is the custom with Off The Page Games, they have a really cool new mechanism or hook for this game. Each zone on the board will have a tower, which has a seesaw-like device inside. Players add tokens of different weights to the towers, causing them to fall! Each player gains aggression based on how much they put into the tower, and spend it to attack their opponents!

Two expansions will also be available!
A 5th faction will be introduced: the Press! They use polyominos to complete newspaper pages and are more interested in chasing down leads than punching opponents.
Pursuits and Payoffs: An assortment of bonuses and extra gameplay that can be layered onto the base game, including some surprises pulled directly from the Grendel comic!

The Kickstarter campaign will have 2 rewards levels: Retail and All In (which includes all the expansion material).

The Grendel: The Game of Crime and Mayhem campaign will run for 3 weeks. Exert your influence over the city, spend your aggression, and triumph during the mayhem!
