About the game

What is boop the Halls!?

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players. The Mensa award winning, Game of the Year, boop, is back with a new Holiday edition and has really leveled up game play (literally!!). The hoomans are hanging ornaments on the highest boughs of the tree, but those clever cats are leaping up and boopin’ them right off. You can win “Naughty” by knocking off 3 of your opponent’s ornaments or “Nice” by lining up three cats in a row! The 4-tiered game board ‘tree’ presents a surprisingly mind-bending 3D challenge for players. And the alternate win condition of knocking off 3 of your opponent's ornaments creates new strategic problems to solve, elevating the play experience to a new high! —description from the publisher
