About the game

What is Bebop?

The jazz festival is underway! All the bands are set up on their stages and ready to perform. The endless line of fans cannot wait to get in. As a booking agent, it is your job to secure the best seats for your customers by ensuring they are listening to bands that feature their favorite instruments — and it wouldn't hurt if you seat them next to friends and family! Bebop features area majority via the placement of tiles (reserved seats) and dice (fans). The player who most cleverly outmaneuvers the others on the shared board will get the best rating for their booking agency and thus the most points. Reserve seats with your tiles and book them using fan dice in this dual-layered tile placement strategy game Earn high ratings by booking matching fans near each other and next to their preferred jazz performers Compete to claim feature tokens and build the largest families of dice while triggering stage performances at the right time Draft fan dice from the ticket queue and persuade fans to attend gigs that maximize your ratings Featuring two unique festival boards with variable set-ups —description from the publisher
