HOW TO PLAY
1

Explain that reading shapes left in a coffee cup for fun fortunes is a well-loved Turkish tradition.

2

Each player privately writes a short, lighthearted fortune on a slip of paper and drops it face down into a cup.

3

Cups are shuffled and redistributed so nobody holds their own fortune.

4

Each player in turn peers into their cup, reads the fortune aloud in a dramatic voice, and tries to guess who wrote it.

5

Award a point for a correct guess of the author.

6

Continue until every fortune has been read and guessed.
