Boop Board Game

One of their standout games is "Boop" a deceptively cute yet strategically challenging abstract game for two players. Designed by Scott Brady, "boop" involves players placing kitten pieces on a quilted fabric board, causing adjacent pieces to be pushed, or "booped," one space away. The objective is to line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats and then align three cats to win the game.

"Boop" is notable for its high-quality components, including a quilted fabric board that lays over the back of the box to create a miniature bed playing surface, and 32 wooden cat and kitten pieces. The game is designed for players aged 10 and up and has an average playtime of 20 to 30 minutes.

Smirk & Dagger Games continues to innovate in the board game industry, offering titles that combine engaging mechanics with thematic depth, appealing to a wide range of players seeking both fun and meaningful gameplay experiences.
