GET THE PEOPLE TOGETHER

The cooperative cup skyline

Build a city together while each new round adds one delightfully awkward design rule.

Here’s how to play.

Set a shared goal: build three towers and one connecting arch using the cups on the table.
Take turns placing one cup at a time. Everyone may suggest ideas, but only the current player moves a cup.
After a successful build, draw a new rule: use fewer cups, leave a wide doorway, or design a low skyline instead of tall towers.
Celebrate a structure that stands for ten seconds. If it falls, redesign together; there is no elimination.

A little help: Use unbreakable cups and keep structures below face height.
