Popular Post Kyle Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hey Wyrdos, This week, we’re too excited to even pay attention to Waldo. So while he’s off doing whatever it is that he does when we look the other way, we’d like to make a very special announcement: It’s coming. No, really this time. Seriously. The long-awaited beat-‘em-up racing game, Bayou Bash, will be releasing June 2021 for just $55. Between now and its release, we’ll be covering how to play Bayou Bash, each racer and their many unique antics, and more. Stay tuned! 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 On nice, was wondering if we'd hear about this soon. Looks like a great pickup as part of a gencon style order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 For those who are wondering: there won't be miniatures in the Bayou Bash board game (but the Malifaux Bayou Starter Box models can be used for anyone who wants to bring the game to that level). Bayou Bash is a fast-paced board game where most races take about an hour - just enough time to rebuild the track however you want and start again. We decided to go with custom meeples for Bayou Bash so that players of all types can enjoy the experience of the rapid and chaotic gameplay without having to pay for the extra cost of miniatures. We'll have more details soon! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tors Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Humpf i had hoped for a wacky game with some crazy rider/"horse" miniatures. But looking at this, it seems even conversions or existing kits (e.g. warwabbit) wont fit on the board. I am disappointed. Pretty Cover art, but otherwise boring and generic asthetics with the board an meeple shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yep, there are still lots of dice to toss, actions to gain fans (and destroy opponents), and tons of shenanigans along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall78 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 The re-playability with different track layouts is a key selling point. Makes the game different every time you play. Lowering the price point and have the models as an upgrade was a good call. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufess Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Cannot found the pics now, but I believe I had seen some pics of extra racer models that were not shown in the cover art. There were a Silurid rider, a Whiskey Gamin rider, and a Gremlin with jetpack iirc. Are they still inside the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Am I correct in thinking that the picture of the components is really underselling the size of the race track? Because I thought that the figures that we had seen previewed at previous Gen Cons for this game were on 50mm bases... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off the art and previewed models, those models are now likely to make up the Bayou Starter Set. We'll obviously find out more when that officially gets previewed.

Chou Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 So we just need now the pandemic to go away so @Clousseau can run a Bayou Bash wild night the Friday before the UK Nationals... man, do I miss tournaments! I guess it's been confirmed elsewhere, but can we set up the track the way we want it or is it fixed to be always an oval? Two boards joined together, twice the fun! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you can build the track however you want. The game will come with a bunch of track pieces (straight pieces and curves) that are double-sided with different obstacles on each side. The loop track in the image above is just an example of what you can build. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muraki Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 If there's anything I've learned from watching sculpts from shows, is that Wyrd doesn't toss many sculpts once they've been built, even if the purpose changes. Like for instance, you could see miss guided on some 2019 game show shots, same with tidecaller. I wouldn't be surprised if there's either a second expansion planned or if those modes may come in as alts / misses / etc (I want that crock rider as an alt McTavish for instance, it seems to be on a 50). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
