Boogie Beasts is a board game released in 2019 for 3–8 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Alexander Kneepkens and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Simulation.
Welcome to the Boogie Beasts skydive meet-up! If this is your first boogie, don’t worry: a boogie simply is a skydiving party and we’re here to have fun. Let your inner animal come out and take the plunge! The game has four rounds, also known as jumpruns. In each jumprun you will receive cards that will allow you to plan your jump. You can jump alone or in formations. But be careful! Your jump only lasts one minute, and each formation requires a set number of jumpers! Only successful jumps and formations will score you points with the jury. Boogie Beasts is a card game under time pressure, where bluffing and lying is expressly allowed. Teaming up with other jumpers increases your potential score, but also risks failing the jump all together. Get the best combined score out of the four jumpruns, and you'll be the Boogie Beasts champion! —description from the publisher
Boogie Beasts supports 3–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Boogie Beasts is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Boogie Beasts for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
