Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions

Do I need the "The Taverns of Tiefenthal" base game to play with "Open Doors"?

Absolutely! "Open Doors" is an expansion and adds new modules and cards to the base game. You can't play without it.

How many players does this expansion support?

It maintains the player count of the base game, so it works for 2 to 4 players.

Does the expansion make the game much more complicated?

It adds more options and a bit more complexity, but the modules can be introduced gradually. If you've already mastered the base game, you'll get the hang of it quickly!

How much playtime does the expansion add?

Generally, the playtime remains around 60 minutes, but it might vary slightly depending on the players' familiarity with the new mechanics.

What are the main new features that "Open Doors" brings?

The expansion introduces the possibility of building wine cellars and guest rooms, unique abilities for each player (innkeepers), and a new mechanic involving the mayor and town development.

Is it worth it for casual players?

If you already enjoy the base game and want more variety and depth, yes! But if you play rarely, the base game might be enough on its own.
