A deceptively cute deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players.Every time you place a kitten on the bed it goes “boop.” Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten on the board 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?

SHOBU is a beautifully crafted abstract strategy game for 2 players. The game features 4 square wood boards (2 of each color) and 16 natural river stones for each player in two colors with a rope dividing the play area in half.Your turn is in two parts. First a player may move one of their stones up to two spaces in any direction including diagonally in what is called a passive (or set up) move. Second they take 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 off the board's edge. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of the four boards to win.SHOBU evokes the feeling of GO or CHESS but provides its own unique challenge. It feels immediately familiar and yet is wholly distinct and engaging.-description from publisher
