The Innkeeper
As Mr. Nasty, the infamous
innkeeper, you give customers a
simple promise: a stiff drink, soft
bed, and swift kick in the pants
for those who start trouble.
You won’t sell large goods at the piers like
other merchants in town. Instead, you’ll offer
room and board to tired adventurers after the
markets close for the day. But space is limited
and customers are fussy—the last thing you
want is folks yapping about a bad experience...

INNKEEPER ACTIONS
Make a Bed (1 Hour/2 Hours)
You have two action spaces to Make a
Bed: one for red and green and one for yellow and blue.
Take one Bed from your supply, flip it to the appropriate
colored side, and place it into a vacant Bedroom. To take
this action you must have at least one empty Bedroom.
Note: You only have two Beds of each color.
Pour a Drink (Cost Varies)
You have three action spaces where you
can Pour a Drink; each one is correlated to
a Bedroom. This action’s cost depends on the chosen space.
Move 1 Drink (small Good) from your supply to your Sale Shelf that matches the Bed in
the Bedroom directly above the chosen action space. You cannot take this action if there
is no Bed in the Bedroom above the action space.
MARKET PHASE—BEDROOMS
During the Market Phase, you may sell Drinks at the Grand Plaza
(center) Pier or Black Market (right) Pier. Unlike other Merchants,
you do not produce large Goods to sell. Your Shop board also con-
tains no Market Phase Sponsorship icons.

Note: If you gain a
large Good through a Townsfolk ability, instead place a matching colored Bed into a Bedroom, if possible.

2.2.
After the core Market Phase, follow these steps to
resolve your Innkeeper-specific Accommodation
Phase:
1. From each Pier, take 1 Customer or Rogue of the
most common color of Adventurer at the Pier.
• If tied, you choose among the tied colors.
• If possible, place each Customer onto a Bed
on your Shop board which matches it in both color and position:
▶ e.g. The Customer taken from the Bazaar (left) Pier may be placed only in your left Bedroom, and only if it contains a Bed of the matching color.
▶ Rogues will never occupy a Bed.
• Place Rogues and Customers without a Bed
into the Brawl.
2. For each Bedroom with a matching Customer and Bed:
• Gain the Gold price printed on the bed.
• Gain the Bed’s Gold price an additional time
for each matching colored Loyal Customer sitting at a Table.
• Remove the Bed and place it into your supply.
3. After Resolving each occupied Bedroom, move the Customer to a matching colored seat at a Table, where it becomes a Loyal Customer—and remains for the rest of the game.
• If there are no vacant, matching-colored seats,
move the Customer to the Brawl.
4. Finally, draw 1 Corruption card for each Adventurer in the Brawl.
Example:
The Bazaar and Grand Plaza Piers have clear
majorities, so a blue Wizard comes to the Inn from the Bazaar Pier and a red Warrior from the Grand Plaza. At the Black Market Pier, there are 2 Rogues and 2 green Bards. You could choose either, but the Bard is a better choice since you prepared a green Bed. You place the Wizard in the blue Bed on the left, and the Bard in the green Bed on the right. The Warrior has no Bed and is placed in the Brawl.
The BrawlThe Brawl

Example: For the blue Wizard, you simply gain the
base Bed value of 8 Gold. For the green Bard you gain the
base Bed value of 6 Gold, plus 6 more Gold for each of the 3
green Loyal Customers—for a total of 24 Gold! You advance
your Gold tracker by 32 (8 + 24 = 32). Then, you move the
Wizard to a Table with a blue seat, and the Bard to the
Brawl (since there are no vacant green seats). Finally,
with 3 total Adventurers in the Brawl, you draw
3 Corruption cards.
Bartender: Gain immediate Sponsorship from any
one Faction Hall.
Housekeeper: While maintaining the same total
number of Beds in Bedrooms: you may freely swap, flip,
and/or move Beds between Bedrooms and your supply.
Bouncer: Remove 1 Adventurer from the Brawl
then place it onto a matching Seat, or return it to the
Adventurer bag.
Security: Choose and discard 1 Corruption card from
your supply.
Recruit/Replace
Townsfolk (Cost Varies)
Recruit Townsfolk from the Town Square, gaining their ability. Then, slide the card behind your Staff board to assign them to a Staff Ability. Most Townsfolk have Faction icons which give you Gold during Final Scoring.
Activate Staff (2 Hours)
You may activate each Staff Ability
that has a Townsfolk assigned to it—in any order you wish.
The three Bedrooms are directly correlated with the three Piers (left to right). After
the Market Phase, take 1 Adventurer of the most common color at each Pier, and
place them in their respective Bedrooms and Beds. Adventurers that cannot be
placed in matching Beds go to the Brawl.
Place 1 red or green Bed from your supply into a vacant Bedroom. Properly filled
Beds give you Gold and Loyal Customers.
Place 1 blue or yellow Bed from your supply into a vacant Bedroom. Properly filled
Beds give you Gold and Loyal Customers.
Move 1 Drink from your supply to your Sale Shelf. The color must match the
Bed in the Bedroom above the chosen action space. If there is no Bed, you
cannot take this action.
Customers with a matching Bed, Bedroom, and Seat become Loyal Customers,
who grant additional Gold each time a matching Customer stays at the Inn.
After resolving all Bedrooms, Draw 1 Corruption card for each Adventurer in the Brawl.
