Does your cup hold the winner? In What The Cup!?, Each player shakes their cup with d12, peeking at the die value. Play starts with drawing a card from the pile - the player can take the action on the card (Spy, Swap, Re-roll, Reveal) or choose to flip the High/Low token. Play continues around the table until the end-round card appears from the draw pile - the player with either the highest or lowest dice value (based on the token) wins the round! The die don’t lie... but YOU can try! –description from publisher
