Theme
Key serene nature music as fuzzy eager Beaver prepares to build its Dam. Then...BOOM! SNIP! SLAP! BOOM! Your beaver worldview now destroyed, you cannot help but be driven to utter madness as you try to quickly build your beaver Dam first, while opponents destroy your loving construction of sticks to make their own. SLAP! your opponents and steal their sticks, or make them dive deep and miss their turn. SNIP! your opponent's attempts to BOOM! your Dam to smithereens, then give them a big ol’ slap! Suffer the same fate as the other eager beavers slap you back and snip your Boom sticks. Boomy Beaver is simple game of wooden chicanery of extraordinary proportions.
