Capsaicin is a push-your-luck card game where participants compete in a pepper eating contest. During each round a pepper card will be drawn from the pepper deck. If the pepper drawn pushes a player over their threshold for that pepper, they have burnt their mouth and are out of the current round. Before a pepper card is drawn each participant has the opportunity to "Take a Drink" and opt out of the round. This allows the participant to collect what ever points they have collected this round. The participant who has the most points at the end of the 5th round is the winner. Capsaicin was first introduced as a free mini game to all attendees at Boarder City Game Convention 2017.
