Overview
On a peaceful beach, meet hermit crabs and octopuses building homes out of discarded cups and bottles. At just the right moment, claim the most luxurious stack of cups for your new home — or mix a bottle into cup stack to sabotage another hermit crab!
Players work together to build piles of Cup cards, but since victory points are scored from Cup cards, competition is fierce as everyone aims to claim the best piles using their Crab or Octopus cards. Bottle cards introduce an exciting twist, as only Octopus cards can follow them. Each player begins the game with 14 random Cup cards, 3 Crab cards, 2 Octopus cards, and 2 Bottle cards. At the start of each round, players select three cards to play. Throughout 7 rounds, you must carefully plan your card choices.
