Staccups game review

Did you know my 7 year old was cup stacking champion three years running at school? He has a really knack for it, and even did it at Sports Day last year! So when I heard about a new game called Staccups, I knew he would love it.

Prepare to take competitiveness up a level with the ultimate fast action party game, Staccups! Challenge your hand-eye coordination in a frantic race against your opponent to stack all of your cups as quickly as you possibly can. One moments’ hesitation and it could be all over!

Each of the brightly coloured shot sized cups comes with a base colour and top colour. Simply stack the cups on top of each other on the stacking station, by matching the base colour of your cups, to the top colour of a stacked cup.

Sound straightforward? It isn’t! There are two stacks on the station, to build on, and so too can your opponent. In a split second, the colour to match can change, if your opponent is quicker than you! And you only win by stacking all of your cups first.

It’s designed for ages 8 and over but my 5 and 7 year olds just love it. It’s the perfect game for all the family, and a great party game! In fact you can even play in teams. But be warned…it’s really addictive!! My 7 year old loves it and has even made up a few of his own games using the stacking cups. I can see he’s going to design games when he’s older.

For up to 4 players or teams, Staccups from University Games is recommended for ages 8+ and available to purchase at Smyths Toys, Argos, Toys R Us, and The Entertainer for an RRP: £19.99.
