Further clarifications and interactions
- Switzerland cannot activate Secure Offshore Accounts if either team has less than 4 cups. This does not include cups that do not need to be sunk to win the game (e.g. Greece’s Trojan Horse or Romania’s Vampire Castles. Somalia’s non-pirate ships are the obvious exception here).
- In the rare event that the opposition only has two cups left when the loan repayment is triggered (because Switzerland sunk several other cups in the time that the loan was accruing), then only one cup is repaid. Similarly, the opposition cannot give Switzerland a special cup as payment for the loan.
- If Switzerland accidentally sink a loan cup, the opposition must drink it, but it is removed from the game, and no debt is applied to that cup.
