About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your best carnival salesman smile ready, because it's time to practice your sales pitch! If you've already enjoyed the chaos of selling dubious elixirs in the Old West, Party Potion is the perfect upgrade to turn any gathering into a true traveling circus. Here, the goal is simple: you receive cards with words and must combine two of them to create the most bizarre product possible. Imagine selling a 'Rumor Mirror' or a 'Burp Balloon'! The fun begins when a customer is revealed and you have just a few seconds to deliver your pitch. It's a race against time to convince the customer that your wacky product is exactly what they need. If your pitch is convincing enough (and doesn't exceed thirty seconds, or the customer will cut you off!), you win the round's prize. The game flows dynamically, with the current customer passing the turn to the next player, ensuring everyone joins the madness. It's the ideal game for those who aren't afraid to look silly and want to share laughs with friends. Remember: to enjoy all this fun, you'll need the Snake Oil base game. It's fast, it's chaotic, and it guarantees no one leaves the table without a smile (or a laugh of disbelief). If you love word games, improvisation, and a touch of mischief, Snake Oil: Party Potion is your next party addiction!
