Step into the mysterious world of potion-making and strategic risk-taking with Reiner Knizia's Poison by Outset Media!
Designed by world-renowned game designer Reiner Knizia, this addictive trick-taking and push-your-luck card game challenges players to brew potions in three distinct cauldrons without tipping the brew over the edge.
Players take turns adding cards of matching colours to cauldrons—but watch out!
If the total value of cards in a cauldron exceeds 13, you must collect the entire bubbling mess, accumulating penalty points.
Adding dangerous green Poison cards creates high-stakes tension as players try to force opponents into taking unwanted cards while secretly securing the highest count of each colour to wipe away their penalties.
Fast-paced, easy to learn, and packed with deep tactical choices, Poison is a favourite for family game nights, party gatherings, and card game enthusiasts alike.
