Smirk & Dagger BOOP: Adorable 2 Player Strategy Board Game, with 32 Cat and Kitten Pieces, Makes a Great Gift for Couples, Family, Adults and Kids Ages 10 and Up

Product Information

The board is prepared by flipping over the game box and placing the 6×6 quilted grid on top (the “bed”). Absolute Zero and his minions are loose in Megatropolis, trying to capture the powerful Infinity Generator! On each of your subsequent turns, until it moves off the bed, the ghost cat moves one space towards the opposite side of the bed and boops any kitten or adult cat it moves next to.

They are presented by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design at the Origins Game Fair on an annual basis for the previous year; for example, the 1979 awards were given at the 1980 Origins. These are winners of the American Tabletop Awards, a US-based board game award selected by a committee of board game media creators for games released in the previous calendar year. Where Shobu played the serious part of a traditional chess-a-like, Boop hides its diamond-hard tactical gameplay under a soft, fluffy dressing. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats… and then, get three cats in a row to win. These new cats also "scare" other cats on the bed, forcing them to leap over each other to get away from the ghosts.Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out.

Dicebreaker, who reviewed the game earlier this month, said: “Boop looks to rightfully throw more of the spotlight on one of tabletop gaming’s true hidden gems from the last five years. Then, if you placed it next to one or more other kittens (yours or your opponent’s), these get pushed (“booped”) one square away from the newly placed kitten. These are winners of the As d'Or Award, which is awarded to the best board game of the year submitted at the Cannes International Game Festival.

Many publications award a single "Game of the Year" award to a single title published in the previous year that they feel represents the pinnacle of gaming achievement that year.
