Rule Modifications & Game Clarification

  • With 7 or 8 players, the deck will have 20 total cards (4 of each character).
  • If you do not go first or last, a dashed line will clarify your turn order. Turns pass in a clockwise fashion, and the first player is decided randomly.
  • A coup involves a character guess and will be unsuccessful if the guess is incorrect (i.e. the targeted player does not possess that character).
  • Stealing from a player with 0 coins produces no net gain or loss of coins from either side if successful.

Refer to the in-game rules panel for additional clarification.

Notes

  • Online Coup is currently in beta testing. It may take time to load some images, and bugs may occur while playing.
  • When using a mobile device (not recommended), play in landscape mode for the best experience.
  • Please use the LEAVE button to exit a room or a game.
