Coup Social Deduction Card Game and Rebellion Expansion Options for Ages 10+, 2-6 Players at Game Night
Coup social deduction card game turns claimed roles, bluffing, challenges, and careful timing into a compact contest of influence. In the detailed modern base game, each player begins with two cards, takes one action per turn, and may claim a role whether or not it is held. Rivals decide when to challenge, and the last player with influence remaining wins.
The Indie Boards and Cards base game supports two to six players ages 10 and older and typically finishes in about 10 to 15 minutes. Five roles—Captain, Assassin, Ambassador, Duke, and Contessa—create different actions and counters. The catalog also lists Anarchy, identified as a Coup Rebellion expansion with additional roles; it is not the modern standalone base game. Confirm the selected style and base-game requirements before ordering, then store all cardboard components in the box.
