About the game

BOOoop. is a two-player abstract strategy game where placing a kitten on the bed 'boops' every neighboring kitten one space away. Line up three kittens to graduate them into cats, then line up three cats to win the game: all while your opponent is booping pieces around to foil your plans. The newer Ghost Cats variant adds pieces that can leap between spaces and boop others across the board, adding a spooky new wrinkle. Its plush, quilted board and wooden cat pieces make it as charming to look at as it is to play.

Hobbli's Notes

This spin-off of the hit 'boop.' keeps the same addictively simple push mechanic while adding just enough new spooky flavor to feel distinct. It's a great pick for anyone who wants an approachable abstract game with real tactical bite.

What we like

  • Adorable cat and kitten theme with high-quality wooden pieces.
  • Simple 'boop' push mechanic is instantly understandable.
  • New Ghost Cats variant adds fresh tactical options.
  • Quick to set up, play, and put away.

Keep in mind

  • Strictly a two-player game.
  • Limited strategic ceiling for experienced abstract gamers.
  • Small footprint means less variety session to session.

Who it's for

Great for two players aged 8 and up who enjoy quick, tactical abstract games.
