Our take on The Innkeeper
The description gives concrete attention to cooking, guests, supplies, and finances, but offers little detail about how the inn's stated role in peace between nations affects play. Note-taking is also mentioned without explaining how it fits into the innkeeping activities.
What is The Innkeeper?
The Innkeeper is an inn-management game set at a meeting point for seven nations, each with its own race.
Players take the role of the guild's innkeeper, buying ingredients, cooking dishes, and serving guests. The work also involves managing finances and storage, meeting visitors' wishes, and offering tired travellers a place to spend the night. Guests may dislike their roommate, adding a social complication to overnight stays. The inn is presented as a hub between the nations and as a key to peace. The description also mentions taking notes, but does not explain what players record or how this fits into the innkeeping activities.
