About the game
boop. is a deceptively simple abstract strategy game for two players, where placing a kitten on the board "boops" every adjacent piece one space away. Line up three kittens to promote them into cats, then get three cats in a row to win: all while your opponent's boops constantly scramble your plans. The tactile wooden pieces and quilted fabric board give it a charming, tactile presence on the table. Quick to teach and playing in 20-30 minutes, it's an approachable abstract game with real depth.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editors adore boop. for how much genuine strategic tension it packs into such a cute, simple-looking abstract game. The constant chain-reaction pushing keeps both players on their toes, making it a great "easy to learn, hard to master" two-player pick.
