Bat Cup

About this board game

Bat Cup is a competitive racing board game for 2–4 players, with races lasting about 120 minutes. Set in the Alchemical Crystal Quest universe, it puts each player in control of a driver competing to cross the finish line in first position.

Racing is only part of the challenge. During the contest, players can confront their opponents with objects and weapons including bazookas, thumbtacks, and spells. Attacks can make rivals lose control, creating opportunities to move ahead while cars battle their way along the road.

Cards are central to the race, providing ways to move and attack. Players must also manage the strength of their cars by using brake and nitro tokens, choosing when to slow down and when to push forward.

• Race against opponents to reach the finish line first.
• Use cards to move and launch attacks.
• Disrupt rivals with objects and weapons such as bazookas, thumbtacks, and spells.
• Control your car with brakes and nitro tokens.
• Drive carefully through curves to avoid skidding.
• Adapt to changing weather during the race.

Handling the track is just as important as striking your rivals. Curves can cause skidding, so drivers need to control their cars while taking the road layout into account. The changing weather adds another factor to consider as the race unfolds.

In Bat Cup, victory depends on balancing speed, control, and interference. Fight your opponents, manage your car, and try to leave rival vehicles broken on the road before taking the lead across the finish line.
