Read the full game description

Drinks & Daggers is a cooperative drinking card game set in the world of the podcast Greetings, Adventurers! Each player chooses a unique card deck to represent their character, and works together to defeat a villain also represented by a deck of cards. Since the hero decks have different actions, items, and reactions which synergize in nearly endless ways, and each Villain presents varied challenges, every game will play out differently. Consuming alcohol is optional, and can be represented instead with drink tokens, but drinking is tied directly into the game mechanics. Each hero has a power which is activated anytime they give a fellow hero a drink, and these powers are amplified when heroes become "smashed." Each of the three villains has a regular and hard mode for players who are looking for an extra challenge. —description from the publisher
