Description
Get ready for a delightfully deadly game of Tea, Scones, and Arsenic, where you'll join a group of greedy heirs trying to outsmart each other to inherit a fortune. The game is simple to learn, but don't let that fool you - it's full of strategic bluffing, deduction, and a dash of luck. You'll take on the role of an aristocrat, choosing a character and starting with a few sugar cubes to help you navigate the treacherous world of poisoned scones. As you play, you'll draw scones from a box, trying to avoid the ones laced with arsenic, and use your sugar cubes to delay your fate or try to sneak a peek at the scones without alerting the other players. As the game unfolds, players will start to drop like flies, eliminated by the very poison they were trying to avoid. But don't worry, you can still have fun even in death - you can dramatically announce your demise or put on a show, complete with throat-grabbing and floor-dropping flair. The last player standing, or rather, the one who's eaten the most scones without dying, will be the winner. With its quick playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Tea, Scones, and Arsenic is the perfect party game for 1 to 6 players, promising a hilarious and entertaining experience that's full of humor and murder mystery intrigue.
