Sounds lovely, right? Wrong. There's a catch—it might be poisoned. Welcome to Risky Whisky, the high-stakes party game where paranoia is your best friend! The goal is simple: don't die. As the dealer (the only one in the know), you hand out-whisky or poison, leaving everyone else to scramble. Will you take the shot? Will you try to swap your card blindly with a neighbor? Or will you burn your one-and-only antidote just to stay in the game? With asymmetric information and-once per game-abilities, every decision feels heavy. You can bluff, you can trade, and you can definitely watch your friends face-plant after a bad-luck-draw. It's a fast-paced-elimination game where the tension builds until only one person is left standing. Perfect for groups who love bluffing, social deduction, and a bit of chaotic-good-natured-sabotage! ## FAQ ### How long does a game take? Very fast!
