Hellapagos is a “co-opetition” game in which players struggle to survive on a desert island and build a raft to escape before a hurricane devastates them. While players need to work together, as the days go by, Hellapagos will get the best of your group and turn friends into enemies. Diplomacy, wit, and skullduggery are all fair game if you are to survive this unforgiving adventure.
Hellapagos: Big Box combines the components of the Hellapagos base game and They’re No Longer Alone expansion, which adds the following new features to the game: twenty character cards, thirty event cards, and twenty additional shipwreck cards. All three expansion elements are independent; players can incorporate a single new component, or all three if they wish.

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?
Approachable but challenging abstract game. Plays in 20 to 30 minutes.

The Mensa award winning, Game of the Year, boop, is back with a new Holiday edition and has really leveled up game play (literally!!).
