Review: Robert Hovakimyan's Bombastic is a tiny release from Bitewing Games that is pitched as being a better tic-tac-toe, a comparison both true and misleading.

Real Moytura, Guys Iโ€™ll confess it was a little surprising to unfurl Moyturaโ€™s board and see such a literal depiction of Ireland. After the suffocating hoplite melee of Iliad, the checkerboard Mount Olympโ€ฆ

Moytura is the fourth title in Bitewing's Mythos Collection. As two clans race to control Ireland, they face pushback from the wild corners of the island, creating a world that's intriguing and desperate. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/24/m...

Top down photo of a board game box on a play mat, surrounded by game tokens and cards. The box reads MOYTURA, and depicts a cyclops like, red eyed giant towering over a small band of silhouetted heroes.

shallow depth of field shot of a game board with tokens and cards. The design appears to be a map with multicoloured territories, with tokens and castles dotting the land. There is a blue ocean with a black dragon head poling out, and game cards along the left side.

Moytura is on kickstarter today!

I had a small part in this project, designing the game mat you play on. Moytura is a 2-player game of strategy and mythology, and totally worth checking out

This week weโ€™re working on coverage for Azure & Moytura, two cool new games from @bitewinggames.bsky.social launching next week. Both proved fun in some surprising ways, catching me off guard with the accelerating rhythm with low overhead, and of course their usual fantastic production. #boardgames

Tick Tick Toe If thereโ€™s anything that tickles the pleasure center of my brain, itโ€™s seeing a designer put their own spin on a classic. Even better when that classic is soggier than bread thatโ€™โ€ฆ

Bombastic by @robhovak.bsky.social remakes (and de-solves) Tic Tac Toe by adding hidden information, push-your-luck gameplay, and a big old bomb. For what it is, this one is pretty much perfect. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/03/b...

It was an honour to help illustrate the game board for Moytura (by @bitewinggames.bsky.social)

They've got a cool dev diary on the design process, and you can see some of Harry Conway's incredible mythology illustrations as well
