About The Cup: Creature Card Battler
The Cup is a free-to-play 1v1 creature card battler, broadcast live. You coach a survivor and a line of three creatures: real North American animals, plus a few cryptids. Every turn you play one card and make one attack, then a die decides how hard it lands while two announcers call it from the booth. The Road is a roguelite run of cases against invasive species. Draft creatures and kits as you go, take your spoils after each win, and a knocked-out creature is gone for the rest of the run. The stars you win pay ratings that unlock more creatures in the Compendium. Between runs, play the House as often as you like, or go live 1v1 against other players.
A hundred years after the end of the world, an alien athletics commission found Earth's feral wildlife and its stubborn survivors, declared the whole planet an Invitational, and started broadcasting. You're at the qualifier. Every match airs on the Galactic Athletics Commission feed, ad breaks and all. The animals are real, the natural history is real, and the hundred years of consequences are the joke. The goose is unchanged. The war changed nothing whatsoever about the goose.
