Cute kittens, clever tactics as well as plenty of chaos makes Boop a deceptively challenging abstract strategy board game for two players. Beneath the adorable cat theme lies a tense positional puzzle where every move can send your opponent’s pieces bouncing away from their carefully planned formation.
 
Place a kitten onto any open space of the fabric bed board, then watch the boop effect take place. Any neighbouring kittens are pushed one space away, creating constant movement across the board. Line up three kittens to graduate them into cats, unlocking a more powerful piece that can only be pushed by another cat.
 
The challenge is creating your winning formation while your opponent is doing everything possible to disrupt it. A promising line can disappear in a single turn, while a carefully timed placement can push an enemy kitten exactly where you need it. Think ahead, control the bed then use the boop effect to shape the board in your favour.
 
Victory comes from getting three cats in a row, though the game can also end when one player places all eight of their cats onto the bed. With games lasting around 20 to 30 minutes, Boop combines accessible rules with surprisingly deep strategy making it a fantastic family game for players who enjoy two-player tactical challenges.
