One cup. One board. Once a day. Meet TARO and the boba cats — five kawaii pearls living in a cup of real physics. Swap two cats to make a match, pop chains as the pile tumbles, and melt the frozen kitties to clear the day's board. Everyone in the world plays the same cup. Nobody plays it twice. Clear it and you mint that day's collector card — one per day, forever. Finish in fewer swaps and it upgrades to FOIL or HOLO. Hats, props, shiny rolls, and big-chain confetti make every card one of a kind. Miss a day, and that card never exists. COLLECT — A daily card album with thousands of combinations. Fill it, flex it, share it. DRESS UP — Earn coins by playing and spend them in Taro's Pop Shop. Your equipped merch appears on every card you mint. CLIMB — Boba Rank grows with your collection, from First Sip to Legendary Boba. The highest ranks unlock merch money can't buy. PUSH YOUR LUCK — Done with the daily? Go on a Run. Every board banks points, clearing efficiently multiplies them, and one spilled cup loses it all. Cash out… or play one more board? CHALLENGE FRIENDS — Share your card and dare anyone to beat your swap count on the same board. No ads. No account. Just a fresh cup at midnight.
