Cup the Crab
Players gather discarded cups, bottles and sea-life cards to build shared stacks of Cup cards on a peaceful beach setting. Each round every player secretly selects three cards from a limited hand — Crab, Octopus, Bottle and Cup cards — then reveals them to add to or claim piles. Victory points come from claimed Cup stacks, so players time their plays to claim desirable piles while using Bottles and Octopus cards to disrupt opponents. The game runs seven rounds with hand-management and tactical planning as players balance cooperative pile-building against competitive scoring.
