Poison

Nobody refuses an invitation to one of Baroness Belladonna’s cocktail parties. She is far too important to snub. Belladonna’s parties are famous for two things, exorbitant drinking and the occasional guest dropping dead! That’s right over the years the Baroness has had a suspicious number of fatalities at her festivities. The only possible explanation is a poisoner at large in Castle Curare. What their motive is nobody knows, but then Belladonna’s parties are always full of hidden agendas. Should you decide to attend you’ll no doubt have an agenda of your own.

Poison is a trick taking card game for 2 – 6 players which will last around 20 minutes. Set in a high class cocktail party players each lay Drinks cards of differing suits trying to win tricks by playing the highest card in the current suit. Winning tricks wins you points as does completing your open and hidden agendas which are different for every player. Unlike other trick taking games the trump suit in Poison is a bad thing that negatively affects you if you play it. It is literally a poisoned chalice. The player with the highest score after 9 hands wins the game.
