About the game
What would a tavern be without a good old brawl? Fantasy Tavern Brawl is a fast-paced game where players fling, slide, or drop their cards towards the tavern and then place or remove meeples based on the card’s ability. Every card that touches an existing card enlarges the tavern. Some cards will allow you to create additional floors to the tavern by placing the card on top of existing meeples, eventually creating a three dimensional chaotic puzzle of cards and meeples. At the end of the game, players count the number of meeples still on top of the cards forming the tavern, with those on higher floors scoring more points. Included are rules for a variety of scenarios to play, each with different combinations of cards and rules for drafting them. —description from the designer
