Baba is You and UFO 50's Party House are making the jump to tabletop gaming, with a Kickstarter campaign to fund both beginning in September.
The short version
- Baba is You and UFO 50's Party House are making the jump to tabletop gaming Two of my favorite indie games from the best decade are getting physical board game adaptations.
- Party House , one of the best games included in UFO 50 , is getting a deckbuilder, while the mind-bending 2019 puzzler Baba is You is being adapted into a competitive board game.
- Party House: The Deckbuilding Game makes a couple of changes to that core formula.
What happened
The game now supports four players, merges money and popularity into a single currency, and combines house capacity and the busting threshold into "Trouble," with players having to move on to the shopping phase when they exceed seven Trouble during a party. Meanwhile, Baba is You: The Board Game takes the mechanics of a rule-bending puzzle game and applies them to a competitive game in which the goal is to connect an "Is You" descriptor with an "Is Win" descriptor.
Why it matters
Neither of these games would've been at the top of my list for expected video-game-to-board-game adaptations, but both seem like fantastic fits for the tabletop gaming medium.
