🌟 What You’ll Need:

• 6–8 sturdy plastic cups (red Solo cups or beachy-colored ones are perfect)

• A few medium-sized seashells (clam shells work great — or use bean bags, bottle caps, even crumpled paper balls)

• Painter’s tape or a piece of string

• A long hallway or open floor space

🧠 How to Play:

1. Set the Line:
   Use painter’s tape or string to create a “toss line.” Distance depends on your mood (or sobriety 😏), but 6–10 feet is a good start.

2. Build the Tower:
   Arrange 3–4 cups in a pyramid (like mini horseshoe stakes). Or set one up solo for a more classic-style toss target.

3. Choose Your Weapons:
   Each player gets 2–3 shells (or equivalent tossables). Make sure they’re smooth and safe!

4. Take Aim:
   Stand behind the line and take turns tossing your shells.
   🎯 1 point if your shell touches the cup
   🏆 2 points if it lands inside
   💥 Bonus point if you knock the cup over dramatically

5. First to 10 (or 21) wins — or play in teams!

🌀 Beach House Rules (Optional Variations):

• Slippery Sand Mode: Toss while standing on a folded towel

• High Tide Challenge: Stack 2 cups and aim for the top one

• Seagull Mayhem: Someone gently flaps a towel while you throw 😄
