Origins Spotlight: Out of the Box

Elliott MillerJun 10, 2011

Out of the Box Publishing will be one of the many exhibitors making an appearance at the upcoming Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio at the end of the month. OTB will be holding around 20 different tournaments at the Fair, and will be selecting a Grand Champion! Additionally, their Giant Word on the Street game is lots of fun for the whole family.

Here are a few of the new games Out of the Box will be bringing with them:

Faux-Cabulary: First, a crazy definition is read to the group. Next, players use the wacky word parts to create wildly funny new words to fit the definition. Each new word is read out loud, and the “Wordmeister” picks the best one!
Faux•Cabulary—it’s where new words come from!

Shake ‘n Take: Aliens are on the loose and it’s up to you to capture them! Everybody’s got aliens, but there are only two capture markers. Catch as many aliens as you can, before the next player grabs the capture marker right out of your hand. Be the first to capture all of your aliens and win!

Bug Out: Not released yet, but they will have some prototypes on hand for to try. Bug Cards are scattered all over your table or even your living room floor! Players race to capture the bugs by covering each Bug Card with a matching Leaf Card–It’s a wild scramble to find each bug! Be the first player to cover all of your matching Bug Cards and Bug Out!

And don’t forget to try out any of the games in the 10 Days series. They are a great way to bring education and fun together. The great thing about OTB is that their games are all very affordable and fun.
