All the games in Reiner Knizia/ @bitewinggames.bsky.social’s new sci-fi trilogy are just great. They each have a distinct personality and are lots of fun. They’ve been in steady rotation for us (11 of the last 15 days!).

Very happy we took a chance and went all-in on deluxe versions.

My upcoming review for @bitewinggames.bsky.social new Knizia trilogy is surprising *me* while writing it…

I didn’t expect to feel about these games the way I do…

Unexpected in both directions

Stay tuned~

Sadly the only pic I took; but we had a game night yesterday with some wildly fun plays of Hot Streak @cmyk.games, Rapido, Unmatched @restorationgames.bsky.social, & EGO @bitewinggames.bsky.social and they all were HITS; each one was new to at least 2 or 3 players per game & everyone had a blast

Coming soon: Azure and Moytura | 2-Player Strategy Games Two exquisite 2-player games of strategy and mythology by the designers of Undaunted, War Chest, and Mandala.

Azure is coming to Kickstarter soon! Follow the launch here:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/bit...

Chinese mythology speaks of four gods, or Auspicious Beasts, each with unique powers and significance.

In Azure, if you place stones within a beast's domain — thereby providing the most protection to the beast — you'll unlock powerful bonuses. The titular Azure dragon grants precious wisdom.

It’s Brewster’s Board Game Buffet!

Pull up a chair and FEAST on this selection of tasty treats - everything from the brain-burning economics of Galactic Cruise to the sharp, slick, head-to-head battles of Iliad and Ichor. There’s some turtles hanging around in the middle, too!

The gaming is electric⚡️
Come stop by and play games at our Origins Booth! Booth 1207

What's up, Ohio! I'm at Origins.

I got to see some work in the wild, and also got to hold the prototypes for Gingham and Gazebo (@bitewinggames.bsky.social )

She’s a Grisly Monster, I Assure You You know the story. Buncha monsters storm Mount Olympus. The pantheon is in a scramble. Who’s this coming to save the day — Hercules? More like Hunk-ules. Reiner Knizia’s Ichor isn&#821…

In my final review for Ichor, I find myself appreciating it even more than I did a year ago. Monsters! Gods! Lots of lanes and tokens! Yeah, this one's good. Read it here: spacebiff.com/2025/06/18/i...

Let Me Not Then Die Ingloriously You know that moment in every ancient battle scene, whether in film or video games, where the lines have collapsed and now the burly infantry boys are fighting one on one, everybody mixed together …

Iliad is a brutally clever two-player duel from Reiner Knizia, turning the ancient battlefield into a series of wagers to secure the favor of the gods. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/06/17/i...

a cow in a board game rulebook. it clearly states "cows = wild". its a bit silly.

yeah they are, yeah they must

Strife, Confusion, and Death – An Iliad Review “Now my doom is upon me. Let me not then die ingloriously without a struggle, but in the working of some great deed to be told among men hereafter.” Reiner Knizia’s latest –…

Reiner Knizia is still cranking out epics like the 90s never ended. Here, he takes on the climactic showdown between Hector and Achilles. Both warriors seek blood and honor, but they also seek the ear of the gods.

I’ve been so excited to finally talk about this! What an awesome project to work on. Hopefully the first of many collaborations with @bitewinggames.bsky.social

There’s a LOT of pressure for a game design to be good when the art is this fantastic.
