## Description
It's time to show who has nerves of steel in "Knights With Poison"! In this fast-paced card game full of twists, the goal is to collect the most jewels and escape before poison (or an allergy!) gets you twice. The cards have ranks from 1 to 11 in four suits, with some bringing precious jewels, others saving medicine, and some… well, nothing special. The trick here is that after each trick, the winner takes the jewels from the played cards and also the poison or medicine cards. But beware! A new card is revealed each round, bringing more jewels or, even worse, more poisons. The big twist is that you can withdraw from the round at any time, securing your collected jewels. However, by doing so, you forfeit any future jewels. The player who accumulates the most jewels after five rounds is the grand champion. It's a game that blends the tension of "pushing your luck" with "trick-taking" strategy, perfect for those who enjoy a quick and unpredictable challenge.
