Raise Your Goblets is a party game where you play as a scheming noble at a banquet full of... poison. Each player has goblets, wine, poison, and antidote tokens, and the goal is to poison your enemies without dying in the process. Everyone knows who’s targeting whom, but no one knows what’s in each other’s cups. Each turn, you can peek inside your goblet, rotate all of them, swap with someone, or secretly add a suspicious liquid (obviously!). When someone calls a toast, everyone drinks—and then comes the reckoning: more poison than antidote? Game over. But hey, you score points for killing your target, surviving, and even for having the most wine left. With special rule-breaking abilities and support for up to 12 players, it’s the elegant chaos your table needs.

How many players is best?
6+ for maximum chaos. With 2-5, it’s more strategic and less silly.
Is there language dependency?
Almost no text—just a few ability cards. Playable in any language.
What’s the minimum age?
Box says 14+, but younger kids who can handle memory and bluffing might enjoy it.
How long does a game take?
20-45 minutes, depending on player count and how often someone forgets their cup’s contents.
Is it good for people who hate memory games?
If you despise memory mechanics, you’ll struggle. But special powers and bluffing add comic relief.
