Feld: Score 1 point per milliliter in your cup. Then score your mugs, bottles, cans, and jugs. Then add in points from flasks, canteens, steins, goblets, and chalices.
Finally add in your tankards, schooners, and carafe.
And then your flagon.

Knizia: if it’s your least-filled cup, you can still win if it has more than the other players‘ least-filled cups!
optimist: the cup is half full
pessimist: the cup is half empty
Game designer: in case of a cup contents tie, the player with the most empty cups is the winner. In case of a tie in empty cups, the lowest bar tab is the winner.

Origins was great as always. This one wasn't about pitching or the business side things as much as seeing friends for the first time in a long time and reconnecting with the design community as a whole. Game design can be a grind - everyone at Origins reminded me of why I love it.
