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!
Oooh that's awesome! I love how you recreated the gameplay at home prior to release. It's such a fantastic design, glad you enjoy it too!
This seems like such a perfect combo of approachable theme and components while being a game's game.
I really liked that we could see your faces even during the game play when you discussed the strategy :) Nice touch! Great vid :)
Thank you!
19:18 Boop, there it is. Thanks for the demonstration.
Love that the teach is so quick, but the strategy is deep! Also love that thumbnail and Naveen's capybara shirt!
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!
your thumbnail made me smile :)
Oooh I just made this game because I couldn't get my hands on it. I crocheted 36 mini granny squares and stitched them together. A friend of mine 3d printed some black and white kitty bits for me to match my black and white cats!
Pictures please!!!
@@wscottbrady how do I send pictures on UA-cam? Thank you for designing this beautiful game! I posted it on Reddit and you can find me under the same username FerociousKZ!
You had me at the thumbnail 😆
Yeah, that photo of you two is really great!!
I’ve been trying to play this game for an hour and y’all are the only people who taught us how to play. I love you
Boop
Fantastic, this had caught my eye from the production but the game makes it look a great package! Quickly shot up my wishlist
Thanks so much for the play through! I want to play against Monique - it’s obvious she really has a grasp of the strategy!
Thanks for checking out our video! You did such a fantastic job with 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.
@@BeforeYouPlay Thank you! Have to give credit to Smirk & Laughter for the art - they nailed it.
@@Dyskresiac Agreed 100%. With this and Hues and Cues, my goal was a rules-light but thinky game. Those are the types I enjoy playing the most.
@@wscottbrady I have not played that one as I am awful with colors or at, But those I know who have it love that one too!
Simple but thinky huh? I think we are gonna have to follow your work more closely then. Thanks for the tip!
Wow, this game looks way more fun than I first expected. Great playthrough, as usual! 🤓
This seems like a great game, a certain buy for me ! Thanks for another great video !
I just got this yesterday, thanks for the playthrough!
Have fun!
I REALLY like this game. And I'm very happy to have found it when I did - seems to be hard to come by now!
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.
This is the cutest game ever!! Nice playthrough/review, guys! :)
Thanks, Ashley!!
Thank you for the playthrough. I'm glad to see how this game works. Very cute little game, and I agree, it has a chess/checkers component to it.
Thanks for checking it out!
I gifted this game to a friend for Xmas and made custom pieces based on his two cats. His orange kitten was so curious she tried to paw at the pieces while we were playing too lol.
PS. I LOVE Naveen's capy shirt! May I ask where he got it!?
That's AWESOME! What a fun and creative gift idea! Naveen gets his artsy shirts from a website called, "Threadless." =)
I actually thought it was going to be about the same box size as patchwork.
It makes sense now looking at you play it you need that chonky kitty meeple feel haha!!
Looking forward to seeing it in Australia when it gets here 🤗😻🐾
GG! Just bought the game yesterday. Looking forward to play with the gf this weekend :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Such a great game! Thank you 😃👍.
This game looks incredible. What great mechanics and booping cats is a fullproof theme. Instant buy.
It's so great. Such a clean design
11:42
Monique could have placed kitten D4, kitten on C3 couldn't move bec of kitten on B2. it will push Naveen Kitten on E5 to F6. & Create a 3 in a row to transform into 3 cats
I just got this game! Thank you for the video!
Hope you enjoy it!
Lovely playthru guys !!
Thank you! Happy New Year!!
I want this game... My cat is booping (,does this word exist ? )me every night when I go to sleep.
What a delightful little game! Seems so unforgiving though at the same time, there is no rng at all to make the game lighter. I need to test it with some friends to see if I would enjoy it in the long run. Thank you for a quality video!
Thank you!
If you want it to be even lighter, there's a youth version in the rulebook that makes a game around 5 minutes!
LOVE that capybara Tshirt! I want it so much!
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
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.
@@BeforeYouPlay I also like to play "Gorinto" - looks beautiful and with Buddhist theme pasted on.
I also have Yinsh and Yzaar. Both solid abstracts!
Picked up BOOP! last week. Now I just have to talk my work buddy into believing that kittens on a quilted bedspread is a great game idea!
Excellent thumbnail.
This looks so simple and clever. And cute. Soooo cute.
Soooooo cute!
9:14 forgot to boop a gray kitten on B1 square
The thumbnail... Naveen...🤣🤣🤣
LOL
After this, I just had to track down a copy for us! 🐱
I kinda want to get this game just to say “boop” over and over!
Saw this at PAX but didn’t get to play it. I like abstracts from time to time but the only one I liked enough to own is Santorini New York which I prefer to the purer original. But I love the ripple effect here.
Aww love ya guys, Boop!
Such a cute game! Monique, where did you get your giraffe sweater?? Love your content, always top notch :)
I am like Naveen when I played this game. Just barely hanging on while the other person mops the floor with me every time.
Lol!!
Aww, thats cute. I need this for my wife. Btw your content for Better Boardgames was great!
🍻 from Germany 🖖
Aw thank you so much!
oooooo a 2 player only game AND CATS! We've got 4 cats, and love cat games. Going to have to get this one. I think my husband is gonna end up in the same situation....lol losing most of the time.
Thanks
Funny I'm not usually drawn to games like this, but boop is really calling out to me.
It's a different take on abstract! Plus, super cute
Move made at 9:15 one grey kitten didnt get booped off the edge?
The game looks really fun.
But more importantly Naveen, where is that shirt from. I dig it.
haha, he gets most of his artsy t-shirts from "Threadless" (website)
Boop!
This game is cute. My husband loves Naveen’s shirt - where did he get it?
I wonder what Monique would think of my favorite game of all time: the game of Go. 🙂
Did Naveem miss booping Monique's kitten off the board at 9:15? The bottom left one?
Naveen! Where do you get all your cool T-Shirts from? I'd love to buy some for my boyfriend! This one and the bear one in your Specre video are my favourites *_*
What happens if you get 4 or 5 cats in a row?
Then you win because those 4 or 5 cats in a row contain a set of 3 cats in a row which is one way to win the game.
You’re supposed to say “BOOP” when you boop someone.
Yes, that's true!
i just know that if i play this game i'll boop every cat and not thinking about how to win it lol the design is so cute
Naveen, what is that shirt? A coffee capybara??
😻
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.
📝Abstract game = mean game 😂
13:25 I mean... if Monique would've put that big cat doing a diagonal... She wins, right?
Hi! Oh no actually if she had done that in between the two big cats, they would have been pushed away.
@@BeforeYouPlay Right! My bad. Forgot about that rule midway through the video haha. Amazing game. Thanks for the gameplay!
Damn this actually looks complex
👋 😺
👋🐶
OH MY GOD HK HAHAHAHAHA
Neither of you ever pet a cat????
This looks great but it looks like it will be grossly overpriced. This should be a $20 game but im sure it will be closer to $40
Ill bet supply and demand say otherwise. No board game should be $20. You are drastically underselling your product at that point.
