    This has become my favorite 2022 game. I was very excited when I first heard about the concept and gameplay. In fact, we could not wait for this to be released that we used checkers (kittens) and chess pawns (cats) on a homemade 6x6 board that I printed out. Boop offers the perfect combination of very simple rules and high strategy. The production quality of the components is great. I highly recommend this one! Thanks for sharing Boop!

    I bought the last two copies at my FLGS for Christmas gifts, one for my wife and one for my sister-in-law. Both are non-gamers but love cats. They love it. Such an elegant, nice puzzler. It's really hard to find games that my wife and I both enjoy. Sagrada is another favorite of ours, but the setup in much longer. This one is perfect. Great video!

    My brother and I played a Demo of this at PAX and each bought a copy immediately. It's such a wonderful game and you guys are right. It's 20 minutes or less the first few times you play. But man, I've had games go a WHILE. I imagine 2 evenly matched players could reach a stalemate. Which MAY not please everyone. But if you enjoy going blow-for-blow until one of you messes up and leaves an opening that the other player can seize... you'll love Boop.

      Fantastic game Scott. Sometimes simple is harder than complex and bloated. Even without the theme, I think it's a great game- but man that theme really sells it. And it's thematic to boot.

    Very good game that I didn't even give it a second look because of the name and box cover look. I think it desperately needs to broadcast that it is a thinky abstract game. Certainly not hard, my 4 year old can play it, but as a tic tac toe style game it is surprisingly deep.

    Nice video, guys - Boop seems nice and cute - and an abstract game with a theme - go figure!
    As Monique is a fan of abstract games (like me), I recommend the GIPF Series, a wonderful, dry and themeless set of seven "common box size" games (I believe, Tamsk, an eighth game, in a larger box, was withdrawn - and also, I much disliked it's glass timer mechanism).
    The seven in my order of preference are:
    1) Yinsh
    2) Lyngk
    3) Dvonn
    4) Tzaar
    5) Zertz
    6) Gipf
    7) Punct

    • @BeforeYouPlay
      @BeforeYouPlay  Год назад

      Thank you so much for these recommendations! I've actually played Dvonn once but haven't had the chance to play any of the other in the series. In fact, I forgot about them! lol. Also, thanks for sharing your preference order. I really enjoyed Dvonn! It's so hard but also to the point, which is something I really appreciate about the themeless abstracts.
