About Coup

Coup is a fast, strategic card game of deception and power. Set in a world of political intrigue, players compete to eliminate their rivals and become the last one standing. Each player holds two secret roles with special abilities, but the real fun lies in bluffing your way to victory, you can claim any role you want, as long as no one catches you lying.
