About the Game

Drink or Die is a set-collection card game for 2–5 players where rival alchemists brew potions. Try it now: https://tabletoplab25-hash.github.io/DRINK-OR-DIE/

On your turn you simply take everything of one element (all the Fire) or everything of one value (all the 2s) into your collection, then the market refills. That's the whole turn.

The heart of the game — the balance scoring — is unchanged and still excellent: opposing elements cancel out, leftover imbalance costs 3 points each, and Nature is your tool to fix it. But everything is now face-up, so it's pure tactics with no hidden information. The result is a game that teaches in 5 minutes, plays in 15-20, and finally works as a true family and gateway title for 2-5 players.
