## Description
After a grueling day of dungeon crawling, monster slaying, and treasure hoarding, what every adventuring party craves is a night of relaxation at the tavern! In The Red Dragon Inn 5: The Character Trove, the party is in full swing at the Red Dragon Inn, but beware: heavy drinking, gambling, and brawling can take their toll. Keep a close eye on your gold, because if you run out, you'll be spending the night in the stables! And if the revelry gets too intense and you pass out, your friends will carry on the party without you... after looting your pockets, of course! The last conscious adventurer with gold wins the game. 

This game is a standalone for 2-4 players, but the beauty of The Red Dragon Inn series lies in its ability to mix and match characters from all boxes and expansions. Want to play with a custom party of mages and rogues you assembled yourself? No problem! Each core box comes with four unique characters, drink decks, gold, and everything needed to start playing. The 'Allies' expansions add an extra character, increasing player count and offering more party composition options. 

In addition to introducing four new characters – Sera the Fleetfooted Rogue, Lizwick the Collector, Joran the Trickster Mage, and Zakhan the Drunken Master – this edition also doubles as a massive storage solution! It includes ample space to store all your existing Red Dragon Inn collections, dividers, new play mats for all previously released characters, and updated tokens. It's the ultimate solution for fans of the series looking to organize everything in one place.
