Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Bitewing Games announced Baba Is You: The Board Game in August 2026 with a Kickstarter pre-launch page and a September 15 crowdfunding start. Game design is by Arvi Teikari, the original creator of the puzzle game, and Peter C. Hayward. The adaptation turns the solo word-rule puzzle into a two-player competitive match, with one player controlling Baba and the other controlling Keke and both moving word blocks to rewrite the rules.

The campaign opened on September 15, 2026 and has funded past $275,000. It runs jointly with Party House: The Deckbuilding Game, an adaptation of a minigame from UFO 50, and is scheduled to close on October 9. The base pledge is $49 and includes the base game plus the Baba Is Promo: Adventure Pack and Baba Is Wood: Pixel Pack. Higher tiers add a Deluxe Upgrade Box with acrylic tiles, playmats, and metal foil packaging, up to a $149 all-in bundle covering both games.

Delivery to backers is scheduled for June 2027. The campaign page lists English as the only supported language. What the announcement left open, the campaign filled in: the two-player format and the co-design credits were set in August, and the funding total, pledge tiers, delivery window, and language support came with the September launch.
