About the game
You’ve finally cleared out the bar and sent everyone off to bed...but what’s that sound? A knock at the door, at this hour? Why, it’s just what you need: MORE patrons jostling for a spot at your inn! It’s gonna be a long night... These patrons are particularly picky, and will make your night even more difficult! These expansion cards are shuffled into the starting deck, adding to the available Patrons found in the base game. You’ll need to manage these new needy customers more carefully, as your inn will require one more contented patron to be considered successful.
