Risky Whisky: A Poisonous Party Game

Risky Whisky: A Poisonous Party Game

2025

4 - 10 players
15 - 30 min

From BoardGameGeek

It's St Andrew's Day and you have been invited to a dinner party, the host offers you a dram of whisky. Do you drink or do you pass? Risky Whisky is a fast paced bluffing/deduction party game - will you poison your friends or will they poison you? Only one person will survive. The dealer is the only player that knows exactly what's been dealt and the other players have to deduce whether they have been poisoned or offered whiskey. The dealer must deal at least one whiskey and one poison. Moving clockwise from the dealer, each player may then choose to drink, flip the card, or swap it blindly with another player. They do not reveal this card until the end of the round. As a bonus action, you can choose whether to play your antidote by placing it on top of your card, guaranteeing you survival for the round. If you reveal a whiskey, congratulations, you survived and you are still in the game. However, if you reveal a poison card and you have chosen to not use your antidote or you don't have any antidotes remaining, you are then eliminated from the game. One important thing to remember is that the dealer does not get to switch cards and his fate is left to the hands of the table. At the end of the round, the surviving player to the right of the dealer becomes the new dealer and play continues until only one player survives.
