Have you ever wondered why Cats chase each other around the house? You want to say “Well, they are obviously playing with each other… ”
We all know that Cats are planning world domination, but have you ever wondered how they determine who’s actually going to be in charge?
CatBoop! – An on-going battle that will separate the strong from the weak, the fast from the slow and prove which one will become the Purrfect Commander in the incoming human enslavement.
In this 3-6 player strategic card game, you’re trying to eliminate your opponents by successfully dealing them 9 Boops. However, they won’t simply just take them; by using their Cat-abilities and a variety of cards they’ll not only attempt to deflect the Boops but also restrict your abilities to deal them.
1)Choose how many Boops!
At the begining of the game choose amongst the players how many Boops are required to eliminate a Cat. CatBoop! is a great game for those who have a variable amount of time to play as you can tweak play time by changing the amount of Boops. The standard is 9 Boops which takes between 30-60 mins to play depending on the number of players. (Cats have 9 lives so its only logical)
2)Pick a Cat
While they’re all cute, it is not all about the looks – Each Cat comes with its own unique Cat abilities. You can pick them at random, or choose the Cat that best suits your play style.
3) Draw 8 cards
Once you’ve merged your soul with your new Cat persona you get to draw 8 cards:
There are 2 phases during everyone’s turn – the action and the replenishing Phase.
1)Playing cards
During the action phase you play one of your action cards (red paw): Boop, Cat-astrophe or Trap, from your in play facedown cards.
2) Defend
The Cat you targeted, then gets a chance to defend by using a defense card (blue paw). Then you have a chance to counter defend if needed. The action phase continues until all the defense cards have been resolved.
Once the action phase is finished you proceed to replenishing phase.
1) Draw for missing cards
Count how many facedown cards you’re missing and draw the same amount into your basket.
2) Replenish missing cards
Choose cards from your basket to replenish missing facedown cards. The game continues to the next player.
A few months after the campaign ends you will receive an e-mail with an invite to fill in the pledge manager form, here you will need to give details for your delivery and also pay for shipping. At this time you will also have a chance to upgrade your order, or add extra copies of the game.
We offer customs friendly shipping to the US, CAN, AUS, UK and EU. However with one of our warehouses being in the UK, there is a bit of uncertainty to do with EU due to Brexit. We are working with our fulfilment company to make sure that this doesn’t cause any issues. We have also done our best to arrange the lowest shipping rates to any country in the world.
*These prices are the best estimate that we can give, prices may change by the time of shipping
Our aim is to ship your order of CatBoop! by April 2021 or hopefully earlier. The main game is fully finished and files are ready to be sent to the manufacturer. The only thing left to be done is some of the illustrations for the stretch goals, which we hope to get some input on during the campaign.
Crazy Mansion Gaming is made up of the humble but determined gaming duo Colin Lock and Zywia Huchrak.
We’re a nerdy, fun couple whose love for board games has progressed naturally from a bit of fun on a rainy evening to a fully blown creative way of life. From the moment we picked up our first game, we discovered both an inspiring community and our immense love for game design.
To create the games we love, we’ve both thrown ourselves head-first into learning new creative and marketing skills. We also learned a whole lot about our love for Cats!
One of our biggest core values is ‘Games by Gamers, For Gamers’. It’s so very important to us that gamers associate the Crazy Mansion brand with homegrown games that have been made by gamers, tested by gamers and delivered by gamers – with a priority on game play.
Crazy Mansion Gaming’s main goal is bringing games we love to the community we love. We want to create compelling games that you just can’t put down.
Our favourite games – Yes we have the same favourite games…
Kickstarter is the world’s largest crowed funding platform available, and in order to get our first game off the ground and running we need the support of all you amazing backers which make Kickstarter great.
Apart from backing CatBoop! you are also backing Crazy Mansion Gaming, you are making it possible for us to do what we love – design games! We have a few projects in the pipeline that we are excited to share with the community, and hopefully with the success of CatBoop! we will be able to continue to grow and bring more and more fun to people’s lives.
As with all Kickstarters, there is potential for risk in this project. Since this is our first project we have made sure to do our homework and can confidently mitigate any issues that arise with production and fulfilment. The game has been extensively play-tested and the artwork is mostly finish, bar some stretch goals, therefore once the campaign ends we can start pre-production with the printers. Of course sometimes unexpected things can happen, but we promise we will keep you updated on all developments, whether positive or negative.
