Boop Shuffle is a board game released in 2026 for 2 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Scott Brady and its main mechanics are Take That, Race, and Square Grid.
A crazy, cute & surprisingly challenging strategy card game for two, based on the best-selling, Mensa award winning game "boop." Flip a card, place a kitten – and “boop” all the cards next to it one space away. Find a way to boop three of your kittens into a row to graduate them into cats… then get three of your cats in a row to win. But it isn’t that easy! You don’t know if you are drawing your kitten - or theirs. It might even be a super kitten, booping cards two spaces away, or a scaredy kitten who gets booped away anytime someone boops next to them. It’s like herding cats! Fun new specialty cards make for a whole new strategic challenge. -description from publisher
Boop Shuffle supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Boop Shuffle 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 Boop Shuffle 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.
