Cupset

Dossier

Cupset is an unpredictable four player strategy game filled with upsets and underdogs! Each player tries to eliminate their opponents' pieces by engaging in battle, winning, and stacking on top of them and becoming the Top Dog! Each player starts with ten cups. Each turn you may choose to move around the board or declare a fight with an opponent's adjacent piece. The winner of the battle stacks on top of the loser, eliminating their piece and growing their own stack. To battle, the attacker rolls the die to determine the winner, but the odds on the die change according to the size of the cup stacks. Even stacks have even odds, but taller stacks have better odds, with the Top Dog stack having the best odds of all! But watch out, even the smallest stack can upset the odds and become the new Top Dog! But that's not all! Each player controls two secret "underdog" pieces that can quickly change the course of the game! The last surviving player wins the game and reigns as Top Dog of the yard! —description from the designer
