## Description
It's the busy season at the Ugly Gryphon Inn, and things are getting hectic! The bar is packed, rooms are filling up fast, and you need a quick solution. How about opening up the adjacent little guesthouse, 'The Little Beak'? It's small, charming, and best of all, it seems the pyro-rats have cleared out! This expansion for the solo game Ugly Gryphon Inn adds a new challenge: managing this smaller property to accommodate arriving guests. The core mechanic is straightforward: when selecting a patron for the Inn, you can now send them to The Little Beak instead of the main hotel. The twist? The guesthouse has a strict limit: it can only hold one guest with each type of 'irk' (noise, fight, smell). If you manage to place three guests there by the end of the game, without any irks repeating, you win! It's a quick and strategic challenge, perfect for solo gamers who enjoy a touch of management and optimization, all packed into a tiny, pocket-friendly format. Get ready to manage the chaos and ensure The Little Beak is a success, despite its limitations!
