Description

Outliers is a single-player journaling game in which you play a research assistant trying to do their job in an absurd environment. Recruit participants, collect data, and perform miscellaneous tasks around the lab before  the study runs out of funds. Keeping your job shouldn’t be hard when your participants are clones, time travelers, and cryptids . . . right?

The following materials are needed to play Outliers: 

  • A notebook, or another way to journal 
  • A standard deck of playing cards 
  • A six-sided die (d6) 
  • 10 tokens 
  • A tumbling block tower (optional but recommended)

Outliers uses the Wretched & Alone system, based on The Wretched by Chris Bissette.

Outliers was a winner in The Awards 2023, a panel-judged awards ceremony.

Note:– The "demo" is a set of print-and-play assets unlocked during our Kickstarter pre-campaign. This includes:

  • Filing cabinet standees (card miniatures)
  • Lab money for use in the game in place of a tumbling block tower
  • Lab notebook covers to stick to the front of your journal
  • Round stickers for making your own tokens
