On a peaceful beach, hermit crabs and octopuses compete to build homes from discarded cups and bottles. At the right moment, claim the most luxurious stack of cups for your new shell—or slip a bottle into a pile to cleverly sabotage another hermit crab!
Players collectively build stacks of Cup cards, but since only Cup cards score victory points, competition is fierce. Use your Crab and Octopus cards to claim the best piles at the perfect time. Bottle cards add a clever twist to the game, as only Octopus cards can be played after them, creating unexpected turns and tactical opportunities.
Each player starts with a hand of Cup, Crab, Octopus, and Bottle cards. Over seven rounds, players secretly choose which cards to play, carefully planning their moves to outsmart opponents and secure the most valuable stacks.
