Copa is a board game released in 2013 for 2–5 players, 10–30 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Steffen Mühlhäuser, Fred Horn, and Daniel Krieg and its main mechanics are Modular Board.
Game description from the publisher: In celebration of our tenth anniversary as a games publisher, this year we present an exclusive new game: COPA, which comes packaged in an elegant white box that contains nothing more than wood shells and beans — and a firework of ideas for games from four different classic game disciplines: strategy, memory, skill and bluff. You won't believe the amazing things you can do with cups and beans!
Copa supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Copa is 10–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Copa for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Copa has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Copa belongs to these categories: Abstract Strategy. Its main mechanics are Modular Board. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Copa are: Steffen Mühlhäuser, Fred Horn, and Daniel Krieg. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Copa as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
