Quest For The Open Tavern

by

Quest For The Open Tavern is a free print-and-play game:

In Generic Fantasy Adventure: the Quest for the Open Tavern, players engage in a competitive worker placement game that embraces DIRECT player interaction. This ain’t your dad’s Euro! One player takes the role of the Wayfarers of Devastation – an adventuring party that recently slew a Great Wyrm Red Dragon (or so they claim) and now wants to celebrate with booze. But they’ve come to the wrong town! Governor Xaggy of Hommlette has heard about this band of ne’er-do-wells, and he’s ready for them. Complicating the issue is that the land is under siege from a demonic invasion AND a zombie plague, not to mention the emergence of a Thieves’ Guild.

One player controls the Wayfarers of Devastation, seeking to get drunk and destroy the town, while the other player controls Governor Xaggy who wants to uphold order and keep the town safe through a night of destruction.

Disney has released legitimate copies of the entire series on YouTube. Here’s the first episode:
