In a World where ruthless Villains plot in the shadows to steal nuclear launch codes and bring entire nations to their knees. Where crooks in suits hire personal armies to amass wealth greater than anyone can imagine. And where someone decided to kill the wrong dog. Only a Hero can save the day.

Two Little Mice

Today, Swedish tabletop publisher Free League announced it is partnering with the acclaimed Italian games studio Two Little Mice to distribute its award-winning cinematic action role-playing game Outgunned. It will also distribute the game’s expansions Action Flicks and World of Killers, a mini-adventure Project Medusa, and a “Director” GM Screen.

Inspired by classic action and heist movies, Outgunned by Riccardo “Rico” Sirignano, Simone Formicola, and Daniela Giubellini has players act as a group of outnumbered, outgunned Heroes working together to fight a Villain and save the day. The game’s Director’s Cut system uses d6 dice pools to determine the success or failure of your Heroes’ actions — and rather than rolling high or low, players are looking to get multiples of the same number. The more of the same dice you roll, the better your outcome is. 

During the game’s Kickstarter campaign in 2023, Outgunned raised roughly $300,000 from nearly 2700 backers. It went on to win second place at this year’s Ennie Awards at Gen Con in Indianapolis. The game is currently featured at the Free League booth at PAX Unplugged from December 6 to December 8. The English translation of the game has been done by Caterina Arzani, edited by John Marron, with design by Luca Carbone and layout from Sabrina Ceccon. The entire Outgunned design team will be present to sign books at the Philadelphia-based convention, with lead artist Daniela Giubellini drawing custom sketches for fans at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Outgunned is available for purchase on Free League’s website for roughly $50. The Action Flicks and World of Killers expansions are also available for roughly $45, with the Project Medusa mini-campaign selling for just over $20.
