The Cup

The Cup is a free 1v1 creature card battler. Field a survivor and a line of three creatures, play cards, roll dice, and hold the center. Every contestant is a mutated version of a real North American animal, entered under its true natural history, and every natural-history fact on a card is checkable.

Variance is a choice. Every creature is tagged Safe, Swingy, or Jackpot, so the gamble is always one you opted into, and everyone watches the die land. There is no skip button, because the animations are the interface.

The booth calls your match live. BroadcASH calls the play. BOBcast adds the color. The action waits while the booth talks, and the feed is recorded.

TONIGHT'S CARD

• 59 contestants and 9 survivors from the US, Canada and Mexico delegations, every one a real animal

• Live 1v1 by invite link, single-elimination gauntlets with medals, or the House

• Draft mode: build your line from the pool, nobody gets the same night twice

• Seeded dice: same seed, same game - every match is written to tape, and every highlight links its replay

• Streaks, medals, the dice ledger, and a shelf of mugs with your name on it

• An owned score, composed in-house - no rented songs anywhere on the broadcast

THE STATE OF THE BROADCAST

Early access, and honestly labeled: the rules, the dice, the booth and the natural history are all real. The card art is currently emoji placeholder while we commission real illustrations of every creature, one at a time. The animals earned more than a picker glyph, and they are getting it.

Free. No account required - play first, sign up after, and your record follows you.

A broadcast of the Galactic Athletics Commission. The feed is recorded.
