Coup
Game Talk:
As a powerful courtier in a futuristic Italian city-state, you control 2 other courtiers with specific attributes. Using bluffing, scheming and deduction, you will try to eliminate other players by destroying their 2 courtiers and remaining the last player standing. It’s quick, easy to learn, and encourages player interaction which makes it a great choice for parties.
Additional Info:
- Although the publishers recommend the game for ages 13+, we’ve found that 11-year-olds enjoy playing.
- The expansion “Coup Reformation” adds additional players, up to 10, introduces a new character card and team allegiances to add a little complexity to the game.
