Tavern

Players attract fantasy guests with musicians, serve drinks, and keep patrons in their tavern for points. Different guest types can drive one another out, so a crowded room needs careful balance.

"Dwarfs, elves, orcs and other strange beings visit your tavern. Try to serve them enough drinks, but don't let it get out of hand!" Each player is the owner of a tavern. They try to attract customers with musician cards. They collect points by serving their guests drinks and keeping them in their tavern as long as they can (for example, if there are many dwarfs in your tavern, all the elves will go out). The player who has collected most points after 2 rounds (day and night) is the winner of the game.
