The Wine Rules Are About to Be Broken
A wildly experimental card game where players draw their ingredients, raid the pantry and create a wine concoction they never would have attempted voluntarily.
Will you create a masterpiece—or something destined for the Disaster Files?
3–10 players · 108 cards · Currently in prototype production
What is Wine Rebels Adventure Lab?
Wine Rebels Adventure Lab is a card-based party game that challenges players to stop following recipes and start experimenting.
Draw your Wine Base and Mixer, then discover which optional ingredients, liquor, twists and challenges the laboratory has in store for you. Use what you have drawn—and whatever suitable supplies are waiting in the pantry—to create an original wine experiment for the other players to taste and judge.
Taste matters. Creativity counts. Following your cards helps.
Maintaining your dignity is optional.
“How the experiment works”
DRAW IT
Draw your Wine Base, Mixer and any optional Ingredient, Liquor, Twist or Challenge cards.
MIX IT
Raid the supplied ingredients and use your imagination to create an original wine experiment.
TASTE IT. RATE IT.
Present your creation to the other players. Everyone tastes, judges and discovers which Rebel Scientist deserves laboratory glory.
Designed for 3–10 adult players. All experiments are prepared as shared tasting portions—not full drinks for every player.
Tested in a Real Laboratory*
Wine Rebels grew from our ongoing mission to find out what happens when ordinary wine meets curious minds, unpredictable pantries and a Former Publican who is willing to taste almost anything.
Some experiments have been surprisingly magnificent.
Others have involved caper juice.
The card game transforms that same spirit of curiosity into a shared party experience—giving every player permission to break the rules, test the improbable and defend their creation before a highly suspicious panel of judges.
*Our definition of “laboratory” may differ from that of the scientific community.
From Strange Idea to Real Game
Current status: First prototypes in production
All 108 cards and the tuck-box artwork have now been completed, and our first professionally printed prototypes are being produced by two different printers.
When the cards arrive, they will be handed over to our carefully selected team of laboratory guinea pigs—also known as friends, neighbours and family—for playtesting.
We’ll be testing the rules, timing, card combinations and overall experience before making the final adjustments and preparing the game for release.
