In this video, we're going to learn how to play Coup! If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to post them in the YouTube comments below.

At 8:44, after being challenged and proving that they have a role, the challenged player would right away replace their revealed card with one from the court, before continuing with resolving their ability (in this case, the Captains).

Two Player Coup & Two Player Variant
When playing Coup with two players, the starting player receives only 1 coin at the beginning of the game.

As a variant, Coup can be played with two players with these changes to the setup:
Divide the cards into a 3 sets of 5 (each set has one of each character).
Each player takes one set, secretly chooses one card and discards the rest.
Shuffle the third set and deal one card to each player and then put the remaining three cards face down as the court deck.

Two Play Coup: The starting player only receives 1 coin instead of 2. You may also play with these adjustments: Divide the cards into 3 sets of 5 (each set will have 1 of each character). Each player takes a single set, and chooses 1 from it secretly - discarding the rest (unseen). Now shuffle the 3rd set, dealing 1 to each player, putting the remaining 3 cards face down as the Court deck.
