About the game
-from the back of the box: "Welcome to Fantasy Pub !! In this special - ill fame - Pub you will direct Hobbits, Dwarves, Warriors and Orcs in a very hot night-party! Everyone has money to spend and wants to drink really good beer! You will move around tables, have a stop at the bar, meet friends and dangerous guys. Drink beers and try to leave before you have wasted all your money, or the bouncer will immediately throw you out of the Pub!" The goal of the game is for your Fantasy Characters to move from table to table, drink beer (collecting points for doing so) and leave the Pub before they are either completely drunk or lose all their money! The 4 types of characters each have Special Character Skills (except the Warrior), and are ranked in strength. Stronger characters get beers bought for them by weaker ones. Hobbit - weakest, but filches coins from the tables. Dwarf - The 3rd strongest, can move either direction around the Pub. Warrior - No special skill, but almost as strong as the Orc. Orc - His skill is a disadvantage. He leaves a coin each time he leaves a table. But he's the strongest, so he always gets beers from the weaker characters. And never has to buy them any beers! Whichever player collects the most points (beer tokens) wins.

Questions and answers
Fantasy Pub supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Fantasy Pub is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fantasy Pub for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Fantasy Pub has a complexity rating of 1.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
