Prepare to Make a Toast on Kickstarter

Toast Artwork (MadeUp Games)An interesting looking little game has launched on Kickstarter by way of MadeUpGames. In Toast, designed by Tim Page, up to twelve players will take on the roles of aristocratic rivals all aiming to to poison their chosen target sitting at the table. Ah, the Borgias would be so proud…

You can reserve a copy of Toast for a pledge level of $34.

About the project:

It has become an unfortunate trend amongst the ruthless aristocracy of Otravia to assassinate their rivals by poisoning during the toasts at their formal functions. In an attempt to discourage this, an elaborate and bizarre etiquette has developed around these toasts. However, this has only succeeded in weeding out the less cunning, ruthless and lucky, with those that remain being true masters of this deadly sport….

Toast! is a quick and casual social deduction game designed for the start or end of an evening’s board gaming, or as an after dinner game. It features elegant and tactile components – goblets, napkins and glass pebbles representing wine and poison – to set the scene for a very civilised party game of deception and death!

In a round of play, goblets are arranged in a circle in the middle of the table, one in front of each player, such that players can’t see their contents. Players take turns to secretly place wine, poison or antidote tokens into the goblets, switching the goblets around, or using their characters special abilities. Each player has a target, and their aim is to ensure that, when the round is ended by someone calling for the Toast and the players all ‘drink’, their target’s goblet is poisoned and theirs is safe!
