Flatout Games

Fit to Print is a puzzle-like tiling game about current news, designed by Peter McPherson and set in a charming forest world created by Ian O'Toole! Thistleville is the most vibrant town in the world - it's a challenge to keep up with everything that's happening, from who won first prize for their pastries at the community fair to who's digging in Mrs. Brambleberry's carrot garden. As an editor at one of the local newspapers, your job is to tell their stories! The front page has to be finished in a few hours and you don't have time for perfection. Grab the big stories before the other papers get a chance, and make sure you have the right photos too. A newspaper is a business, so the money has to come from somewhere - don't forget the ads! After you've chosen a combination of stories, photos, and ads, it's time to lay out the front page. Have you taken enough tiles to fill the newspaper, but not so many that things have to be deleted? Over three hectic days, your skills will be tested as you compete to be the most newsworthy editor! Fit to Print is a tile laying game for the whole family. Players simultaneously collect newspaper tiles and stack them on their desks until they think they have what they need to create the perfect front page. Then they shout "Layout!" and they begin to lay out the page by carefully considering the placement of highlights, articles, photos, and advertisements. When everything is just right, they shout "Print" to be the first off the press and get their choice of highlight for the next round! This frantic spatial puzzle features over 100 unique newspaper tiles, 6 characters with their own special abilities, and 3 decks of Breaking News cards - so you solve a new puzzle every time you play! If real-time games aren't your style, Fit to Print has several alternative game modes to suit every kind of puzzler. In Slo-Mode, players take turns taking tiles from a shared market and arranging them on their front pages. In Puzzle Mode you take a specific set of tiles and lay out the highest scoring arrangements. Whether you want relaxed solo puzzles or frantic action for up to 6 players, you'll have fun helping the animals of Thistleville tell their stories!
