Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The mad doctor has cooked up something evil in Reiner Knizia's Poison, a clever strategy card game. Players choose a potion card from their hand to add to one of three colored cauldrons, being careful not to let the pot go over a total value of 13. The player who causes the cauldron to go over 13 must take all of the cards within it, trying to avoid taking a potion mixed with poison. Be the player with either the most or none of any potion and you're safe - otherwise take the risk of receiving a deadly dose!

This is a great, easy to learn game for 2 to 4 people although 4 is the best number to play. It is fast moving and fun. My grandkids can play and enjoy. From 7 years to 18 years

I belong to a games group, and this game is frequently requested. It is simple and easy to learn, yet it provides a competitive challenge.
