Balloon Cup Card Game




(GAME SUMMARY)

Drake says: "In Balloon Cup, players compete in several short balloon flights (hops) to collect the colored cubes associated with each hop. When a player has collected enough cubes of a given color, he earns the trophy card for that color. Players may even trade 3 otherwise useless cubes for 1 they can use. The first player to earn 3 trophy cards is the winner!"






(TIPS/COMMENTS)

John says: "Balloon Cup has the perfect mix of luck and planning that make it very enjoyable, with short turns and interesting decisions. Balloon Cup has simple rules, but is challenging to the end. Great for couples and non-gamers."

Description:

Players compete in several short balloon flights (hops) to collect the colored cubes associated with each hop. When a player has collected enough cubes of a given color, he earns the trophy card for that color. Players may even trade 3 otherwise useless cubes for 1 they can use. The first player to earn 3 trophy cards is the winner! Each player has a hand of eight balloon cards. The players play their balloons on mountain or plain hops. Players play their high-valued balloons on the mountains and their low-valued balloons on the plains. Players usually play their balloons on their side of the hops, but winds (and cunning) can cause them to play on their opponents side, a move that can ruin their opponents plans.
