I wonder if anybody has some strategy tips for playing Bobail? I couldn't find anything on google.

Still figuring it out, but seems it's good to get all your guys to the other side on the same row. How to do that? Dunno yet.

Isn't it crazy that there is nothing about it online?

The first thing is to get the opening right. The opening is the most important thing in this game, and if it's done well, the game can easily turn in your favour. To do this, try to play your pawns as far forward as possible, and get as many of them out of the way as possible before the others are blocked. Opening is also very much a question of habit, it's almost a reflex and you need to play a lot of games to know which pawn to move automatically. The second thing is, generally, to try not to put the bobail on the line between the edge line and the middle line, which would allow your opponent to press the bobail against the edge of the board, and try to block it more easily, which would force you to make moves (that you didn't want to make) in order not to lose, and that's exactly what your opponent wants: to force you to move the bobail as he wants. I don't know how well this is explained, but I think that if you understood and applied these tips, you could master the game much better.
