Challengers! Beach Cup*
* 
Challengers! Beach Cup is an interactive deck-management game for 1–8 players that plays in about 45 minutes regardless of player count. Each round you face a new opponent, building a deck of quirky characters — wizards, aliens, cats, gangsters, krakens — and trying to collect the most fans and trophies.
In the deck phase you draft new members; in the match phase you fight to hold the flag. Over seven rounds you qualify for the final, and winning it makes you champion. This standalone game can be mixed with Challengers! and includes a 16-card “Trainers” expansion. For 1–8 players ages 8+.
