This was a much needed read, thank you

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.

Your generosity knows no bounds

Tick Tick Toe If there’s anything that tickles the pleasure center of my brain, it’s seeing a designer put their own spin on a classic. Even better when that classic is soggier than bread that’…

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...

Thanks for reviewing this one, Dan! I'm so glad you liked it.

Can't wait to finally try this game! It's been on my wishlist for ages-- ever since I played and really enjoyed Gunkimono!

Cannot wait to start seeing Rheinlander content. Such a hidden gem.

Love this game, and Ali did such a great job with the art 😍

Excited to announce our next Kickstarter coming later this summer.....new versions of two Knizia classics, both with art from Ian O'Toole: RA the Dice Game and Rheinlander!

Every week I promise myself I'll stop reading BGG comments and every week I break that promise 😭

box cover of the new Blood Rage Valhalla standalone expansion from the Gamefound page.

So I've been teasing about working on "some Blood Rage" thing since like ... 2020?

And I have. Slowly. Quietly. With lots of breaks and time to bake.

BLOOD RAGE: VALHALLA is a standalone sequel game to Blood Rage, taking place after Ragnarok.

I'm not sure how much I can spoil yet.

Stay tuned!

Great new review from Rolling with the Beard of Shuffle & Swing by @robhovak.bsky.social 🎷

Tigris & Euphrates or Yellow & Yangtze

It was great to meet you as well! Shuffle & Swing is by far my least Knizian game haha, but maybe there's a kernel of Knizia in there.

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...

I love that Quinns is doing your how to plays! He's incredibly likeable and makes the games sound so fun to play. What a man 😍

What kind of games are you looking for these days?
