Speed Cups: Fan-Edition (2015)

Overview

Speed Cups: Fan-Edition consists of six different color-coded booster packs for Speed Cups or Speed Cups², with five different cards in each booster. The cards were created by fans of the game and were selected from among 1,200 submissions for inclusion in this set by designer Haim Shafir and publisher AMIGO Spiel.

In Speed Cups, each player receives a set of five plastic cups, each a different color; a deck of 24 cards is shuffled and placed face down in the center of the table next to the bell. One player flips over the top card, which depicts colored objects – trains, birds, cups, etc. – stacked vertically or horizontally, then everyone tries to recreate this colored sequence with her own set of cups. The first player to do slams the bell, revels in the soul-brightening "ding", then (if correct), claims the card. Someone then reveals the next card, and the players start shuffling cups once again.
