Cavern Tavern Hits Kickstarter

Apr 21, 2016

Ever wonder what it might be like to work in a pub set within a fantasy world? Well wonder no more as Cavern Tavern has begun its funding campaign for Final Frontier Games on Kickstarter. Players compete to complete chores and deliver patron’s orders all while looking to polish off their assigned secret task to ensure victory. The project is nearly funded within the first day and you can reserve a copy at the $44.00 pledge level.

From Final Frontier:

Cavern Tavern is a worker (dice) placement and resource management board game that is set in a fantasy world. Each player assumes the role of a worker in the tavern. Your job is to serve drinks, work in the kitchen, do chores, and on top of that try to keep every guest happy, including the nasty and greedy barkeep.

Cavern Tavern uses worker (dice) placement and resource management mechanics.

Every player has 4 dice that represents his available actions. On each turn, a player can assign his dice to 1 of the 21 locations in the tavern. These locations require different amount of dice value and each location holds a different reward. The players can choose to place 1 die on a location, combine them in groups to receive bigger rewards, or discard them to receive benefits that will help them advance in the game. So when the player rolls his 4 dice, he has a lot of options where to put them and how to use them, thus forming a strategy and reducing the luck factor to minimum.

During the game, players need to complete their Orders as soon as possible. For each round an Order is late, the Order’s point value decreases.

Late Orders also affect the player’s reputation with the barkeep, Nasty the Dwarf, which can have dire consequences.

Your experience in managing in the Kitchen and doing Chores in the Tavern will be noted as well which can also influence your game advancement.
