Smirk & Dagger BOOP: Adorable 2 Player Strategy Board Game, with 32 Cat and Kitten Pieces, Makes a Great Gift for Couples, Family, Adults and Kids Ages 10 and Up

Product Information

And while I haven't been given clearance to officially talk about the future of boop., let's just say there's already more great things in the works! Boop comes from publisher Smirk & Laughter, which previously put out the exceptional abstract strategy game Shobu in 2019. Where Shobu played the serious part of a traditional chess-a-like, its rustic components gathered together from wood, rope and pebbles, Boop hides its diamond-hard tactical gameplay under the soft, fluffy dressing of cats on a bed. If you have a set of all kittens or a mixture of cats and kittens, remove one of these sets from the gameboard and your supply gains 3 Cats. Note in case of a mixture all cats and kittens are still removed, with the kittens replaced by cats before being returned to your pool. If you have multiple groups of 3-in-a-row, only ONE group can be aged each turn

Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes “boop.” Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten on the board one space away. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats… and then, get three cats in a row to win. Theme: Of course you'll also want to consider the theme and mechanics of the game. "What kind of theme are you interested in? There are two-player games set in all sorts of different worlds, from historical to fantasy to sci-fi," he continues, adding that you'll also need to consider just how competitive you really want to be with the other player.
