About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a cute, yet deadly, war between rats and weasels in "Little Drop of Poison"! Tension is in the air, and the only way out of this ancient feud is a tiny drop of poison. Forget the cuteness, because here the business is being the smartest assassin. The goal? Eliminate the king and rivals, accumulating points to be crowned the master of poison.

In this cooperative card game (with a touch of elimination!), you work together to, well, sabotage each other and the king. Each card played can be a trap or a direct attack. The trick is that you score points not only for hitting the main target but also for eliminating other assassins on your tail. It's a fast-paced game with simple rules, perfect for those who enjoy a dose of light strategy and a good amount of bluffing and friendly betrayal. With short playtime, it's ideal for livening up any casual game night, but with plenty of laughs (and maybe a little paranoia).

"Little Drop of Poison" is one of those games that surprises with its simplicity and the fun it provides. The set collection mechanic blends with the tension of who will be the next to fall. It's a game that can create hilarious moments and unexpected twists, where trust is a luxury item. If you're looking for something light, fast, and with a fun, slightly dark theme, this is a great pick to play with friends who don't mind betraying each other a little for the sake of victory (or fun!).
