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.

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...

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!

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...
Let Me Not Then Die Ingloriously
