Description
In Balloon Cup, you and your opponent compete in a series of short balloon flights to collect colored cubes. The game is simple to learn, with easy-to-explain rules that get you started quickly. Four landscape cards are laid out, featuring plains and mountains, and cubes in different colors are added to these cards. You'll use a hand of eight balloon cards to try to pass each landscape, playing cards that match the colored blocks. As you play, you'll need to think strategically about which cards to play and when, using high-valued balloons on mountains and low-valued ones on plains. The goal is to collect enough cubes of a given color to earn trophy cards, which are worth points. With no necessary in-game text, Balloon Cup is a fun and accessible game for anyone, and its short 30-minute playtime makes it perfect for a quick competition.
