Objective
Two-player game. Race to stack your cups to match the patterns on the cards and earn the most points to win!
Set Up
- Each player gets 3 octopus tentacles and 6 cups (one of each colour).
- Place the octopus tentacles on your thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
- Arrange your cups in a row in front of you, within easy reach.
- Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile where both players can see.
Note: The cards have two sides- blue (easy) and red (difficult). Decide together which side to use?
How to Play
- One player starts by flipping the top card and placing it next to the pile for both players to see. Then shout, “Start!” to begin the round.
- Both players race to stack their cups to match the pattern on the card using only their octopus tentacles.
- The first player to finish shouts, “Done!” and the round pauses.
Note: Both players check if the stack matches the card. If correct, that player keeps the card as a point. If the stack is wrong, the other player can claim the card as a point. - After a player earns a point, both players reset their cups into a row.
- The second player takes the next turn, flipping over another card, and the game continues!
