Why You Can Trust CNET Popular party game Coup is only $5.60 today
You'll really want this intriguing game in your collection, especially if you play with friends.
There's nothing quite like sitting down with friends in person and playing a good tabletop game for a few hours. But you don't always have enough time or attention span for a full game of Catan. That's why there's a whole set of smaller and faster board and card games that take up less time, and one of the best you can get is Coup. It's a game of political intrigue with fascinating rules, and each round only takes up 15 to 20 minutes, so it's perfect to play right after a meal. And if you combine the $1.40 coupon on the Amazon page with the existing sale price, you can get this game for less than your next Starbucks order.
Coup is fun on its own, but be warned that once you get in you'll want some of the add-ons. There are a couple of different expansion packs to add characters and mission types, so you might be adding to the collection soon. Even if all you get is Coup, however, you can tuck it away in a small space and pull it out quickly when you have people over again.
