About the game

What is BOOoop.?

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging & SPOOPY abstract strategy game for two players. Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes “boop.” Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten next to it one space away. Line up 3 kittens in a row to graduate them into cats… and then, get 3 cats in a row to win. But that isn’t easy with both you AND your opponent constantly “booping” kittens around. It’s like… herding cats! And now, things just got boopier and spoopier - with NEW Ghost Cats that float between the spaces. And so scary, cats will leap right over each other to get away! Approachable but challenging abstract game following the incredible success of the original "boop" as a limited seasonal game. Features a new quilted, fabric board that lays over the back of the box, completing the minature bed playing surface. 34 adorable wood cat and kitten playing pieces! NEW Ghost Cats can boop cats over other pieces as they move across the board between spaces. —description from the publisher
