challengersbeachcup
Challengers! Beach Cup is an interactive deck-management game for 1-8 players that plays in about 45 minutes independent of player count. With the tournament gameplay style, you meet another opponent every round.
In the Deck Phase, you choose new members and add them to your deck, which might consist of a wizard, alien, cat, gangster and kraken. Dozens of distinct characters with more than forty effects create a unique experience every game. Choose from seven different sets and discover new strategies and synergies every game.
In the Match Phase, stay in possession of the flag to win the trophy of that round. Try to get the most fans and trophies over the course of seven rounds to be able to qualify for the final. If you can best your opponent in the final, you win!
Challengers! Beach Cup contains a 16-card "Trainers" expansion that gives each player a unique power. Some give you bonuses when defending, some when you're on the offensive, and others can extend your bench or even let you rearrange your deck.

Rules summary
Challengers! Beach Cup is a deck-management, auto-battler tournament-style board game for 1-8 players (or up to 16 when combined with the original game).
Core Gameplay Flow (7 Rounds)
Tournament Structure: Players compete in a 7-round tournament, facing a new opponent in each round.
Deck Phase (Drafting): Players individually improve their deck:
They draw and draft new Challenger Cards (Levels A, B, or C, with C being the strongest) to add to their deck.
They can optionally remove cards from their deck to optimize synergy.
New in Beach Cup: You can gain Fans (points) if you choose lower-level cards when higher-level cards are an alternative.
Match Phase (Auto-Battle): Players duel an opponent simultaneously:
The match is an "auto-battle" where players flip cards from their decks one at a time.
The Attacker plays cards until their accumulated power matches or beats the Defender's card power.
The final card the Attacker played becomes the new Defender's card, and the roles switch.
Defeated cards go to a player's Bench.
The match continues until one player's Bench is full or they run out of cards in their deck.
The winner captures the flag and takes the top-most Trophy (which is worth fans).
Winning the Game
After 7 rounds, the two players with the most Fans (from tokens and Trophies) qualify for the Final Match.
The winner of the Final Match is crowned the Champion.
Key Additions in Beach Cup (vs. Original)
Trainers: Each player gets a unique Trainer card that provides an ongoing, game-long special power, adding a new layer of strategy.
New Sets: The game introduces new card sets and abilities that focus on new mechanics, like using the "exhaust pile" or earning Fans in different ways.
