An island worth arguing over

A settlement strategy game for two to six players that runs entirely in the browser, with no download and no account.

The Outlandr.io landing page: a hex-tiled island beside the name and the line “the free online island settlement game”, with counts for games played and players, and buttons to play now or play with friends.
No download and no account: the first button starts a game.

What it is

Multiplayer board games online usually ask for an install, an account, and four friends who all did both. Every one of those is a place people drop out.

Outlandr removes all three: open a link, start playing, and bots fill any seat nobody took.

How it is built

Real-time play for two to six
Shared game state over WebSockets with turn timers, so a slow player cannot stall a table and a disconnect does not end the night.
A board that renders smoothly
Hex tiles through the Phaser engine at 60fps, with fog of war so the map reveals as players push into it.
Seeded boards
Board generation is deterministic from a seed, which makes a specific game reproducible — useful for debugging and for replaying a board worth replaying.
Bots that fill empty seats
The most common reason an online board game session dies is not enough players. Bots mean three people can still have a six-player game.

Our own software, not a client engagement. There are no business figures attached to it and none are claimed — the point of the link above is that you can check the work yourself.
