## Description
You know that moment when you look your friend in the eye and know, with 99% certainty, that they are lying? Well, Coup X is the perfect playground for that kind of tension! If you enjoy fast-paced games where strategy blends with pure audacity, you've just found your new tabletop obsession. The goal is simple yet dangerously fun: be the last survivor by eliminating other players using their unique character abilities.

The gameplay revolves around character cards that grant you special powers. The catch? You can claim to use a character's ability even if you don't actually hold that card! That's where the real fun begins. If you decide to play smart and someone chooses to challenge you, you'll have to back up your claim or lose one of your cards. If you get caught red-handed, the penalty is immediate. It's a game of social deduction and reading people, where observing your opponents' behavior is just as vital as the cards in your hand.

The standout feature of this 'X' version is that it comes fully loaded. It includes the original base game plus the 'Reformation' expansion, providing much more variety in characters and gameplay scenarios. With sessions lasting only 15 to 20 minutes, it is the perfect filler between heavy games or a quick way to kick off a game night when everyone arrives. Get your best bluff ready, stay calm under pressure, and above all, try not to be the first one to lose all your cards!
