Released in 2024, this game is perfect for groups of 3 to 8 players looking for a fun and competitive experience that combines strategy, deception, and a bit of sabotage. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the world of poison and favor in no time, trying to outmaneuver your opponents and complete secret contracts to earn victory tokens.

There's only one way to find out - gather your friends and get ready to enter the House of Poison.
