About this game

In Vino Morte hands you a wine glass that might be exactly what it looks like, or might end your game on the spot. Each round the dealer secretly stacks eight cups of wine against eight of poison, and on your turn you either drink your cup and find out immediately, or swap it blind with anyone else at the table, dealer included, passing your suspicion, or your doom, along without ever looking. Rounds keep circling until only one drinker remains standing, and the whole thing fits in a wallet-sized box, ready for ten tense, whispering minutes whenever a group needs one more round before calling it a night.
