CountryInteractions/technicalities with other countries
n/a6-cup variation: Voodoo Origins can only be used two times.
AllBenin may use their ability to give the opposition a cup, (can be useful to help call a re-rack).
AllThe opposition may sink one of their own cups and this counts towards Benin’s ability (though you’re a coward and you’ve now lost a cup)
AllIf Benin call their ability after their second-last cup is sunk (i.e., Benin have one cup left), and the opposition sink this last cup on their next turn, immediately move to the Redemption phase. The ability is not refunded and no cup is returned, even if Benin win the Redemption.
VariousCountry abilities that remove cups (such as Greece‘s Trojan Horse) do not count towards stopping Benin’s ability.
