The Great Evening Banquet — Prices

In The Great Evening Banquet, you're the master of ceremonies in charge of organizing the most important dinner of the year, seating distinguished guests at tables with demanding VIPs. Your goal is to create perfect harmony, ensuring no one sits next to someone they'd rather avoid, while optimizing the arrangement for commemorative photos. Each player starts with six VIP tables, each with space for four guests. Guests are represented by tokens of five different colors and four types, with some of them raising a toast. Each round, carriages arrive with 2 to 4 new guest tokens. On your turn, you choose a carriage and distribute these guests among your tables. Once a table is full, it's time to score! Scoring depends on the type of guests (ideally all the same or all different), the colors (avoid having three of the same color), and the number of toasts. But the icing on the cake is meeting the specific conditions of each VIP at the table – such as not having a certain type of guest or having at least two of one color. If you succeed, you earn the full score; otherwise, your points are halved. Upon reaching 10 points, the situation gets tense: you must swap a guest from the Grand Salon with one from your tables, even if it has already been scored! Finally, after all tables are full, photos are taken, and you earn additional points for the overall organization of the tables in rows and columns. The game also offers advanced rules, where tables are so close that a guest can occupy two spots simultaneously, and a solo mode with a dynamic carriage system for a solitary challenge.
