Stack the Cups


Description
Stack the Cups is a fast-paced, dexterity-based game where players race against the clock or each other to build specific structures out of plastic cups and then collapse them back down without knocking them over.
Mechanics
1.Each player receives an equal number of stacked cups in front of them on a flat surface.
2. Complete a designated stacking pattern and return the cups to a single stack faster than opponents or before time runs out.
3.On "Go," players unstack their cups to build a pyramid (e.g., a 3-2-1 pyramid using 6 cups, or a 4-3-2-1 pyramid using 10 cups).
Once the pyramid is fully built, the player must immediately "up-stack" (collapse) the cups back into a single vertical pile using only one hand at a time.
Rules
If a cup falls or the stack collapses during building, the player must reset that specific structure before moving forward.
Cups must be handled lightly; slamming or forcing cups together that causes them to stick results in a 3-second penalty.
4.End the game once one team has finished setting up their cups
Materials
12 to 30 sturdy plastic or paper cups per player
