What is Baba Is You?

Discover the most delightfully creative strategy game of all time.

Based on the critically acclaimed indie video game, Baba is You, this board game adaptation is a head-to-head puzzle where the rules appear on the board. In each game you will play a scenario that is made up of a combination of two or more levels. The levels are organized into worlds — we recommend playing through an entire world (five scenarios total) in one session, but you can break it up as much as you like.

At the start of any scenario, one player controls Baba (the board reads “Baba is YOU,” pointing at that player), and the other player controls Keke (the board reads “Keke is YOU,” pointing at that player).

To win, you must move something that is YOU onto something that is WIN (or vice versa). At the start of the game, nothing is WIN — you must use your actions to make something WIN and move onto it before your opponent can! But making something WIN is only the tip of this iceberg of possibilities. What happens when your opponent can control Keke and Rocks? Or when Baba is STRONG — strong enough to squash Keke? Or when the Flag is SCARED of anything that passes nearby? Or when the River is HOT enough to MELT other things? The possibilities are endless in this strategic puzzle game!

Why We Love Baba Is You

• Baba Is Creative: Baba Is You is one of the most creative puzzle video games of all time. That same experience is captured here in one of the most creative head-to-head strategy games of all time. Create and break up rules in ways that completely transform the playing field. You’ll discover and utilize all kinds of wacky rules including “Baba Is Fast” “Keke Is Rock” “Flag Is Curious” “Rock is Scared” “Square Is Win” and much much more.
• Baba Is Flexible: For many people, it can be hard to play through a huge campaign with the same person due to busy schedules and limited time. With Baba Is You, you do NOT have to play through the entire campaign with the same person. We’ve designed each world to have its own thrilling arc that starts with a relatively approachable scenario 1 and finishes with a wacky climax in scenario 5. In these hour-long plays through a single world, you simply track who wins the most scenarios out of 5. So you could definitely play through different worlds with different players! This variety is a fun way for an experienced player to introduce new people to the game without having to always start at World 1. But if you do normally play games with the same person, then you can also play through the entire campaign and compete for the most world victories out of 7.
• Baba Is Endless: With many campaign-style games, once you’ve played all the scenarios then the only option at that point is… to play it again. You can certainly do that here, AND one campaign won’t feel like another. That’s because each time you finish a scenario, the losing player decides which level to keep and which one to replace with the next level. So it’s possible for one level (and its rules) to stick around for multiple scenarios (even spanning into the next world), while another one is immediately ejected after a single play. So you’ll encounter wacky new combinations each time you play through a standalone world or an entire campaign. You also have the option to combine different levels from any of the worlds and make your own custom scenarios and worlds! With over 30 total levels, there will be over 700 different scenarios you can explore!

What is Party House?

Based on the critically acclaimed indie video game Party House from UFO 50, this board game adaptation is a push-your-luck race to throw the ultimate party! In each game, you and up to three other players compete to throw a legendary party (featuring enough VIP stars) by expanding your rolodex of characters (your deck) who are invited to your event. These characters enter your house one at a time, and you must decide when to end the rager before it gets too out of control and the troublemakers attract the police who bust your party.

If you don’t bust, you may spend your popularity and money to add exciting new characters to your rolodex. The game features dozens of unique guests, including a helpful doorman, a wild rock star, a calming dog, a cheerful photographer, and many more! The most valuable guests are the VIPs (alien, ghost, genie, mermaid, etc.) who are essential to throwing the ultimate party and winning the game. Players also wrestle for control of the event cards which grant passive VIP stars to whoever holds them.

Gather your buddies, bump up the jams, and make this a party to remember!

Why We Love Party House

• Thematic & Dramatic Deckbuilding: Throw parties to build your popularity and money, and spend those to improve your rolodex and attract new guests! But the more characters you let into your party, the crazier it gets! Let too much trouble into one party, and the cops will bust your rager! Party House is much more than just another deck builder.  Enjoy captivating turns, hilarious moments, and playful banter between you and your friends as you compete to throw the ultimate party!
• Easy To Setup and Play: Party House was created with the vision of becoming the most easy-to-recommend deck builder in the entire genre! It’s designed to be smaller, more portable, and more approachable than the biggest games in this genre. Simply flip cards from your deck, but don’t exceed 7 trouble! Plus, the game features a more immediate theme and lively player interaction. You’ll have zero problems getting people to play this with you over and over.
• Delightful Characters and Situations: Rarely has a deck of cards delivered so much life and personality. Do you risk letting a wild monkey into your party for more popularity points? Should you pay the blackmailer to scare off a troublemaker? Do you dare invite the greedy dragon for a possible shortcut to success? Will you hire a lawyer to put a restraining order on your old friend just so there is more room at your party for more interesting guests? Will you summon a Genie and wish for an Alien to show up at your party? That’s Party House, baby!

Shipping & Taxes

Shipping and taxes charts

• USA: Due to the unstable nature of tariffs, Bitewing Games reserves the right to charge an additional tariff fee depending on the situation at the time of importing. But even if tariffs return to the worst case scenario that we’ve seen in 2025, this would likely only result in a small charge of a few dollars per game. Thus far, Bitewing has been able to swallow all tariff fees and not charge any fees to our previous backers — we hope to be able to continue this way.
• EU: Your games will ship from Germany.
• UK: Your games will ship from within the UK.
• Canada: Your games will ship from within Canada.
• Australia and New Zealand: Your games will ship from Australia.
• Rest of the World: Your games will ship from Hong Kong or USA. We realize the shipping price is high, but that reflects our costs.
