About the game

What is Coup?

A simple two-player game pitting the revolutionaries against the entrenched leader. Think of it as two-player Junta. The components are really flimsy (map and counters). The map is real simple, city and outlying sections, with victory locations (Radio/TV, Armoury, Capitol, etc.) scattered about. Small, but fun. Try this: You lose points for rubble-izing the city hexes...so you -have- to overrun...
