Pointe-des-Cascades, Canada, July 14, 2025 – Synapses Games, the Canadian board game publisher founded by Carl Brière in 2018, today announced the acquisition of the intellectual property rights to two delightful crowd-pleasers: the push-your-luck card game Get Bit! and the social word-association party game Medium. Both titles perfectly align with Synapses Games’ editorial focus on easy-to-learn, quick-to-explain games that bring family and friends together.
“We’re excited to welcome Get Bit! and Medium into the Synapses Games family,” said Carl Brière, founder of Synapses Games. “We look forward to working with their designers to honor their vision and bring these clever, communal experiences to even more players.”
Get Bit! puts two to seven players in a bluffing-card showdown. Each round, everyone secretly selects a swim card, then reveals simultaneously to see who advances and who falls behind. The swimmer at the back of the line “gets bit” by the shark, loses a limb (and a life), and play continues until only one survives.
Medium invites groups of two to eight players to discover secret words through clever word-association clues. It's simple setup and lively social dynamics have made it a favorite at game nights and family gatherings.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled that Medium is getting a new life with Synapses Games, and we hope even more people get a chance to check out the game that means so much to us,” said Nathan Thornton, designer of Medium.
“At Synapses Games, our passion is simple, joyful experiences that bring people together. Get Bit! and Medium capture that spirit perfectly with easy-to-learn rules and laughter-packed play. We’re thrilled to welcome them into our lineup and keep the fun rolling for families and friends everywhere,” added Brière.
Synapses Games confirms that both Get Bit! and Medium will ship worldwide through our established distribution network.
