CUDO Plays Recommends
This week the game we are recommending is Coup! This game makes an appearance at many of our own game nights.
In Coup, you want to be the last player with influence in the game, with influence being represented by face-down character cards in your playing area.
Each player starts the game with two coins and two influence – i.e., two face-down character cards; the fifteen card deck consists of three copies of five different characters, each with a unique set of powers. The last player to still have influence – that is, a face-down character – wins the game!
