Vampire Castles
Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
Place 2 ‘castle’ cups anywhere on the table and a ‘vampire’ cup adjacent to each castle. Until both vampires are removed, the opposition can only sink 1 cup per turn. Remove a vampire by sinking the cup (stake through the heart) or adjacent castle (exposure to sunlight). Vampires/castles are not included in re-racks, and do not need to be sunk to win the game.
| Country | Interactions/technicalities with other countries |
|---|---|
| All | Bounce shots still count as removing 2 cups, even if vampires are still in play. Vampire cups cannot be chosen to remove as the second cup, however. |
| Various | Country abilities can’t move or remove castle/vampire cups. E.g., Egypt can’t move around vampire cups. |
| Various | Country abilities that increase the amount of shots taken on your turn (e.g. Portugal) are still affected by the vampire rule. Only one cup can be sunk per turn. |
