August 18, 2024: Trivia Followup: Four For Four – Plus One More!

A while back we asked a question about Steve Jackson Games products with four letters. Four days later, I gave the answers I had in mind.

Forum posters RogerBW and pmpappas pointed out an answer that seems to fit the bill: Coup, from 1992. So why didn't I count that one?

Well, the box does say "Down With the Leader" below its title . . . so it'd be logical to consider that I might have been counting that.

But, nah. I just didn't know about it! It's in our digital database, but the details are scanty; it exists as little more than a title. There isn't even a web page about it on our site! (Of course, astute readers might realize I didn't have that one in mind because my original question said all four were available to buy, which Coup is most definitely not.) Anyway, folks who want to read a bit more about it can check out BoardGameGeek's page for the game.

So for all you true Coup fans who felt slighted, I acknowledge you, and thank you for saving me from a catastrophe on par to when the Moops invaded Spain.
