About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your mug ready, because the tavern brawl is about to begin! In Tavern Tussle, you take on the role of a tavern keeper managing the most peculiar clientele of adventurers in the region. The goal is simple: be the best at serving and collecting the most epic stories – and maybe a few extra coins. The game is a fast-paced back-and-forth where each round you select hero cards for your table, but don't forget to discard one to avoid helping your neighbor. The trick is that each hero has an initiative and a special ability that can change the course of the night. After choosing your cards, actions are resolved based on initiative, and whoever has the highest score at the end, based on collected sets of heroes and their stories, wins the title of tavern champion. But beware, as other tavern keepers might try to sabotage your plans and steal your most valuable customers! It's a light game, ideal for those who enjoy a quick match with interaction and a touch of luck and strategy.
