About the game
Imagine you're running a luxury resort, but you've forgotten that your target audience is RPG heroes and tourists seeking peace. In Epic Resort, your goal is to build the ultimate paradise of fun, investing in incredible attractions and training a staff that actually knows their stuff. You'll need to manage your worker hand to ensure every attraction is running at full throttle, attracting as many tourists and heroes as possible. But watch out: the more people you attract to your resort, the more the monster radar goes off! Yes, success attracts trouble, and if you don't have rested heroes to protect the premises, monsters might decide your tourists are the dinner buffet. The game blends highly dynamic resource management with a constant element of risk: monster attacks. You'll spend gold to upgrade your facilities and use 'Flair' to attract new customers. The core strategy lies in balance: you want rested heroes to score high points, but you also need them ready to fight if a monster shows up. The game ends once all monsters are defeated, and the player who has built the most epic resort, with the best facilities and happy heroes, takes the crown. It's a management game with a touch of chaos that will make you laugh (or scream) every time a monster appears at the dock!
