Top Pop

Welcome to the 1960s, the golden era of soda pop! In Top Pop, you step into the shoes of a beverage tycoon, fighting to dominate the market for bottled soft drinks that are now hitting grocery store shelves and vending machines in major cities across America. The goal is straightforward: make your soda the most popular, crush the competition, and ensure only one brand reigns supreme.

The game unfolds as players place city cards on the table and then stack their bottle caps – symbols of their company's influence – onto these cities. Each turn, the struggle intensifies: if your stack of caps is the highest in a city, you conquer it! If not, the battle continues on other fronts. Cities come in two types: day cities, played face-up for all to see, and night cities, revealed only to the player who played them and the person in front of them, adding a layer of mystery and strategy.

At the end of the game, glory comes with points for majority control in cities and for collecting sets of them. For those seeking an extra challenge, the advanced version introduces special powers associated with each city, which are activated upon conquest and transferred when an opponent takes control. Get ready for a fierce and refreshing battle for the title of Top Pop!
