Dear boop experts and masters, you are invited to register to the Spring edition of the Samurai boop tournament: https://bga.li/tournament/530740

J'ai trouvé un bug lié à la configuration de tournoi, qui n'existait pas avant. J'ai écrit un rapport ici : https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=207190
Deuxième bug, moins important : contrairement à avant, je ne peux plus téléverser d'image pour le tournoi : https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=207192

That one hasn’t played in a long time but I thought it was impressive they only lost twice and beat the current top ranked guy almost every time.

That was the braggy one, yes.

Having read this article, I've decided to come out clean: I am indeed using a software I developed to play my boop. games.

So when someone I don't know arrives with a certain level, I naturally want to know more. Almost two years ago, I sa...

The paper is here: https://www.richoux.fr/publications/richoux2025evoapps.pdf Unfortunately, my Android app, as well as a second app, have been removed from...

Lovely resource! I appreciate this so much You are very welcome. :) However, my one thing is, as a new player, telling me optimal moves is less important than telling me why nonoptimal moves are not optimal.

I just had a bug I never had in boop: my opponent played at the same position I just played the turn before. The bug report is here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=173907 (and the bug can be seen here: https://boardgamearena.com/15/boop?table=692800225&replayFrom=23) I immediately thought tha...
