Check out our review of @bitewinggames.bsky.social Totally Human!

Had a lot of fun putting this one together. Funny Kid Knizia didn’t appear in the Knizia game video…but could he hear? You never know…

Orbit Review We review Orbit, a racing game published by Bitewing Games. In Orbit, players compete to visit all planets of the system, then return to their starting planet first.

An elegantly designed tactical interplanetary race that has players zipping spaceships in zany orbits to prove their space supremacy. Victoria reviews Orbit from @bitewinggames.bsky.social www.boardgamequest.com/orbit-review/ #boardgames

It’s continually a privilege & surreal to be included by @bitewinggames.bsky.social to give their new games a try and to talk about them~

Check these out folks!

(ALSO! Our Totally Human video will be out tomorrow!)

All Gold Country Another day, another cube-rails-adjacent title — although Gold Country, being designed by Reiner Knizia, is decidedly crisper and more rules-light than yesterday’s Stellar Ventures. This one …

Gold Country! That's right, it's another Knizia, this time a crystal-clear stock appraisal game about dredging gold nuggets out of the soil. An entangled social space makes this one special, even if it isn't on my list of favorite Knizias. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/01/27/g...

Gold Country live stream happening in less than an hour! Check it out! ⛏️
