Bitewing Games has revealed a board game version of the puzzle game Baba Is You, with crowdfunding scheduled to begin September 15 on Kickstarter. A pre-launch page is already public. The adaptation reconfigures the original's word-arranging mechanic into a two-player competitive game where players control Baba and Keke.
Game design is handled by original creator Arvi Teikari and Peter C. Hayward, who previously worked on the time-traveling two-player competitive puzzle That Time You Killed Me. The package includes 7 worlds, each with 5 stages, for 35 stages total. In a match, two or more stages combine into a scenario board, and the first player to win 3 scenarios takes the match. The loser of a scenario selects one stage from that board, adds a new stage, and builds the next scenario, so terrain and rules shift as the match progresses.
Support plans, pricing, shipping timing, and whether shipping to Japan or a Japanese version will be offered have not been announced.
