Cup The Crab

Cup The Crab: Find the most beautiful stack of cups!

Cup The Crab is a card and hand management game that invites you to create stacks of Cup cards to house your hermit crabs and octopuses. You and your opponents form shared stacks of cups. Choose the right moment to collect a stack. Too early, and the stack won't earn you enough points. Too late, and an opponent may place their hermit crab there before you!

How to play Cup The Crab?

Each player starts the game with 14 random Cup cards, 3 Hermit Crab cards, 2 Octopus cards, and 2 Bottle cards. At the beginning of each round, players choose three cards to play. Build stacks of Cup cards together, but be careful! Only the player who places a Hermit Crab or Octopus in a stack wins the points. Bottle cards add strategy: only Octopus cards can collect a stack of Cups with a Bottle. At the end of the 7 rounds, the player with the most points on their Cup cards wins the game.
