In Vino Morte (2016)

About this game

In the first course, it was definitely in the soup. After that, it's not as clear. Perhaps in the Béarnaise sauce? Regardless, two things are abundantly clear: someone is poisoning the guests at this party, and the wine that is being poured may be the last you ever taste. In Vino Morte is a tiny little bluffing/deduction game. In the game, the dealer will choose and distribute wine/poison cards and each player has an opportunity to keep theirs and drink it, or swap with another player. It's quick, fun and sneaky and works with a large group.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 9.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
