Smirk and Dagger

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging strategy game for two. Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes " boop ." Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten next to it one space away. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats... and then, get three cats in a row to win. But that isn't easy with both you AND your opponent constantly "booping" kittens around. It's like... herding cats! Can you "boop" your cats into position to win? Or will you just get "booped" right off the bed?

A beautifully crafted abstract strategy game. Your turn is in two parts, a passive (or set up) move and a more aggressive move, which must be the same direction and number of spaces as the first move. It is this second move that allows you to push stones across the board - or shove them off the board's edge. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of the four boards to win. 2 players Ages 10+ 30-40 minute play time
