Strategic Invasion
Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
On your turn, move an oposition’s cup adjacent to one of your cups. This cups remains as the opposition’s cup, and must be sunk to win the game. However, you cannot sink this cup last. Ability cannot be used if the opposition has 3 or less cups. As the cup remains as the opposition’s, it can be used for balls back, but not redemption. Two uses.
| Country | Interactions/technicalities with other countries |
|---|---|
| n/a | 6-cup variation: Strategic Invasion can only be used once. |
| All | If Poland accidentally sink the opposition’s last cup, but forgot to sink the Strategic Invasion cups first, the game is not over and no redemption is needed. Play continues with the opposition taking their turn. If a grenade or balls back was used to ‘end’ the game (i.e., there were 3 cups and Poland lands a grenade that would normally end the game), the opposition lose all their cups except 1, and now the opposition takes their turn. |
| All | The cups that Poland steal cannot be used for Redemption for either team. E.g., Poland cannot drop a Redemption ball in a Strategic Invasion cup to stay in the game. |
