Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Deduction — The game is described as 'a game of pure deduction' where players try to figure out the risk associated with drinks.
- Player Elimination — If a player drinks poison, they 'pop your clogs' and are out of the game.
- Press your luck with mitigation — The inclusion of an 'antidote' allows players to mitigate the risk of a poison card, using it as a 'lifeline'.
- Push Your Luck — Players decide whether to drink a handed-out card (whiskey or poison) or swap, risking elimination if it's poison.
- Take That — Players can choose to swap their drink with another player.
