Have Knizia, will travel….this one continues to deliver @bitewinggames.bsky.social

Oh hell yeah, love seeing these new @bitewinggames.bsky.social duelers come in. I already reviewed them for the crowdfunding campaign (really enjoyed both) but in an interview with @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social he brought up that they developed a coop mode for Moytura that I can’t wait to try.

Moytura is a phenomenal 2p area control game from @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social and @djackthompson.bsky.social. It's not surprise the shared incentives were a selling point for us here at TableTapas

Illustration is in blues, sea green and oranges, depicting a top-down illustration of a sea turtle coming ashore. The fins and head are sea green, the shell is oranges and yellows. The shell itself has a pattern of a moon cycle on it.

I love adding little hidden details to illustrations. An 'Arribada' is a 28-day cycle, so I added a moon cycle to the back of the turtle's shell.

Arribada is a fantastic board game by bitewinggames.bsky.social and is currently on kickstarter!

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!

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! ⛏️

Gold Country and Totally Human A scintillating speculating prospecting game from Reiner Knizia. + A hilarious social game of probing questions and dubious answers!

The gold rush is on! Gold Country and Totally Human are NOW LIVE on Kickstarter! 🚀
Don’t miss out on the ultimate gold rush strategy game and a hilarious game of probing questions and dubious answers!
