About the game
If you love the adrenaline rush of racing against your friends, Speed Cups² is calling your name! This is a high-energy dexterity game where speed and observation are your best friends. Each player gets a set of five colored cups, and the mission is straightforward but intense: match the color pattern shown on a card as fast as you can. Whether the pattern is a vertical stack or a horizontal line, you need to be quick and precise.

What sets this version apart is the added complexity in the patterns. You aren't just lining cups up; you'll often need to stack them in different ways to replicate the-colored sequences shown on the cards. Once you've nailed the pattern, you slam the bell in the center of the table. That satisfying 'ding' is your ticket to claiming the card! If you mess up, well, you'll just have to try harder on the next one.

Speed Cups² is super versatile. You can play it as a standalone head-to-head duel for two players, or if you already own the original Speed Cups, you can use this as an expansion to bring the chaos to up to six players. It's fast-paced, easy to learn, and perfect for those moments when you want a quick-fire-round of-fun. It's all about pattern recognition, motor skills, and being faster than the person sitting next to you. Get ready to move fast!
