boop.

It looks adorable, but it's a deceptively challenging abstract strategy game. Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes "boop" — pushing every neighboring kitten one space away. Line up three kittens to graduate them into cats, then line up three cats to win. But with both players constantly booping pieces around, it's like herding cats!
