Harry Houdini is throwing a dinner party for the world’s greatest magicians. To make this evening more special, he has prepared a unique delicacy — poutine! Unfortunately for everyone at the party, Houdini is a terrible cook. Each player must use their skills in magic to escape from the party without hurting Houdini's feelings. Houdini's Poutini is a competitive game in which each player represents a group of five magicians. They must collect a combination of item cards with which they can perform magical escapes from the party. The Houdini card will mingle about the party, making it more difficult to escape the party without hurting his feelings. You must use your skills as a magician to get your entire group free from the party before time runs out and the poutine is served. When only one player remains or time runs out, anyone who was unable to escape must politely choke-down Houdini's ill-prepared Franken-dish. A variation on rummy with a splash of Old Maid with lots of screwing over your opponents, Houdini's Poutini is a fast-paced and exciting card game for any with a strong mind and stronger stomach.
