Bebop

About this board game

Bebop is a tile-placement strategy game for 2–4 players, played in about 60 minutes, in which booking agents compete to secure the best seats at a busy jazz festival.

Every band is ready on its stage, while fans wait to hear performers featuring their favorite instruments. Reserve seats with your tiles, then book those seats using fan dice in a dual-layered placement strategy that combines area majority with careful positioning.

Your goal is to earn the strongest rating for your booking agency. Place matching fans near one another, seat them beside their preferred jazz performers, and look for opportunities to connect friends and family. The shared board creates a constant contest as players try to outmaneuver one another and secure valuable areas.

• Reserve festival seats with tiles and fill them with fan dice.
• Draft fan dice from the ticket queue and persuade fans to attend the most rewarding gigs.
• Compete for feature tokens and build the largest families of dice.
• Trigger stage performances at the right time to strengthen your plans.

Timing is central to every booking decision. Choosing which fans to draft, where to place them, and when to activate performances can shape control of the festival board while improving your final rating.

Bebop includes two unique festival boards with variable setups, providing changing layouts for its area-majority competition. Whether you are arranging fans around their favorite instruments or fighting to dominate key spaces, every placement contributes to your agency’s score.
