TORONTO - TelAve -- Analog Game Studios is pleased to announce the official U.S. retail launch of Schooled, the new two-player strategy board game designed by Toronto game designer Cecil Oakton. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign and strong early reception from Canadian retailers, Schooled is now available for distribution across the United States.

Inspired by the real-world behaviours of fish forming defensive schools to strengthen their survival, Schooled brings this natural phenomenon to the table with a fast, highly interactive head-to-head format. Players compete to build and protect their own school of brightly coloured fish while tactically challenging the other player's formation. With a clever, streamlined ruleset and dynamic board interactions, Schooled offers strategic depth in a playtime of just 15–20 minutes.

"We're excited to bring Schooled to board game fans across the United States," said Richard MacRae, President and Publisher at Analog Game Studios. "The game combines a theme that feels instantly intuitive with a tense and satisfying strategic challenge, making it a great fit for both seasoned gamers and newcomers."

Designer Cecil Oakton added: "Seeing Schooled reach retail in the U.S. is a milestone I've dreamed about. The game's central idea—using patterns, positioning, and group formation to outmaneuver your opponent—captures something I've always loved about studying nature. I'm thrilled to share it with a wider audience."

Featuring bold aquatic artwork by Cesar Ayala, Schooled includes a double-sided game board, allowing players to enjoy two distinct gameplay experiences that shift strategic priorities with each side.

With its compact box footprint and accessible gameplay, Schooled is positioned as an ideal counter-sale or feature item for hobby, gift, museum, zoo, and aquarium retail environments.
