Cup-a-Cup
OVERVIEW
Collect the correct cups in this fast-action game to win! Two dice are rolled to reveal which one of the cups can be collected. Be the first to grab it, and you’re on your way to victory! But remember, if that cup comes up again, players can try to steal it from you! You gotta act fast if you want to be King of the Cups!
