	Description Edit \| History

From the Playroom Entertainment website:

"The mad doctor has cooked up something evil in Reiner Knizia's Poison, a clever strategy card game. Players choose a potion card from their hand to add to one of three colored cauldrons, being careful not to let the pot go over a total value of 13.

The player who causes the cauldron to go over 13 must take all of the cards within it, trying to avoid taking a potion mixed with poison.

Be the player with either the most or none of any potion and you're safe - otherwise take the risk of receiving a deadly dose!"

This game is also available as an application for iPod/iPhone

DIY Poison

All cards, rules (modified from Tom Vasel's review), card backs and the game board. Print on A3 paper. Cards are 65x90 mm. This version 1.1 fixes the problem with the images in the original file I found out after printing.
