One player controls the Baba piece, the other controls Keke. As in the original, players move word blocks to rewrite the rules and lead whatever has become YOU to whatever has become WIN. The campaign runs jointly with Party House: The Deckbuilding Game, based on 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.","whyItMatters":"The board game keeps the original's rule-rewriting as a live two-player contest, which turns a solo puzzle about editing the world into a race to lock the other player out of it.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe pledge ladder lists nine separate backing tiers.
