Pirate Ships
Difficulty: ★★★★☆

Set up 12 cups in a rectangle, as pictured. Secretly select 5 cups to be ‘Pirate Ships’ (a 3-cup ship and a 2-cup ship). When a ship cup is sunk, you must tell the opposition at the end of their turn whether it was a hit or if the entire ship has been removed. If all ships have been removed from the game, you lose. No re-racks. Pirate voices are encouraged.
