Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 9.00. This game is for 1 to 5 players and was published in 2021. It's the Retail Edition of The Innkeeper Expansion for Merchants Cove by Final Frontier Games. You'll need the Merchants Cove core game (sold separately) to play. After a long journey, enter the Cove Trove and drink until you lose your sea legs! As innkeeper Mr. Nasty, serve drinks to thirsty customers and make beds for tired travelers. Prepare rooms well and choose the right drinks on tap to fill your inn and earn big profits. But be careful, unhappy customers can quickly get angry and cause trouble, hurting the inn's reputation. After the Market phase, take 1 Customer from each dock (the majority type) to your inn and find them a bed. If successful, they'll pay well and become regulars, boosting the bar's reputation and the price you can charge for that color of bed. Playing the Innkeeper seems simple at first, but it involves bidding, speculating, and influencing the markets for profit. Patrons without a bed or table will cause trouble and give you corruption each turn. At TheGameSteward, we support campaigns to bring you great games like this one. A large part of your spending on this expansion will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
