Grendel: The Game of Crime and Mayhem
Highly approachable and asymmetric gameplay
of 50,000 CAD Goal
Backers
Designed by Sen-Foong Lim (MIND MGMT, Corps of Discovery) and Alara Cameron (Kingdom Rush, Clans of Midgard), and new art from Grendel creator, Matt Wagner, this competitive 1-4 player game has you playing as the deadly assassin, Grendel, the Mob, the Police, or the wolf creature, Argent as they each battle for control over New York City.
Every pledge for Grendel will receive a free promo item!! The Assassin includes 1 token and card and adds another twist to the mayhem!
The Press Expansion adds a 5th faction to the fray! The Press can play in any 1, 2, 3, or 4 player game. They use polyominoes to complete their newspapers, take photos, and chase down leads, but they also must protect their sources. This Expansion adds 14 new combinations of setups with the other 4 factions for endless replayability. There are 19 components that are upgraded to wood in the All In Edition: 13 Eyewitness tokens, 1 Scoring marker, 4 Stop the Press tokens, and 1 Aggression marker.
What's this...a new game?!
We are so thrilled to bring you our first family-friendly card game!! It is based on another great comic, The Creeps, written and illustrated by Chris Schweizer, a three-time Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist, writer, concept artist, and illustrator.
The Creeps, a group of kid detectives, investigate all of the spooky happenings in Pumpkins County. Play as the Creeps as you determine which Monsters to research. If you can use your influence to pinpoint the most threatening Monsters, you could earn some major brownie points and maybe even save the town!
The Family Game can be played in 20-30 minutes and involves no reading! The Full Game (described below) features asymmetric character abilities, trap cards, and more strategic scoring.

Hello Grendelings!
We just got back from GenCon where we got to show off the All-In edition of Grendel! We had 32 demo slots of Grendel and they were all sold out. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to check it out. We also demoed all our other games - MIND MGMT, Harrow County, Corps of Discovery, Corps of Discovery Duo, The Creeps, and, from our new imprint Off the Page Games Unbound, our upcoming game, The Seekers. It was so awesome to hear from all the gamers how much they liked our games!!
Check out Grendel being played at GenCon!
Manufacturing update

Timeline
We've been told that the manufacturer should be done printing by the end of September. Then we need to align that with the Corps of Discovery printing which is also printing now - but at a different manufacturer. We're going to be shipping them both at the same time. Depending on how quickly we can get them on boats - there is a small chance we can get these games in November or December and then ship them out before end of the year. Of course, there could be issues on the water or at a port that we can't control. Things could slip into the new year.
We wanted the game to be shipped a lot sooner (we said July!) - but we spent a lot of time on quality assurance. There were many more rounds of proofing than ever before - and with each instance, the game got better because of it. We caught more errors, printing mistakes, and cleaned up the rulebook, and now we're confident that this will be the best produced game from us ever! Thank you all for your patience! We'll keep you in the loop and updated on every step we make.
That's our news! We are going to the Universal Summit for any retailers reading this - so please stop by our booth (both US and Canadian ones!). Thanks for supporting us!!
