Bronzebeard's Tavern

Fun,Beer,Dwarfs,Friends nothing less. A really nice coop game, a lots of upgrades for the tavern. If you want the game to be difficult just play with less Friends. Truly one of my favorite inde game of 2024.

-Quick Review- Bronzebeard’s Tavern is a cooperative multiplayer tavern simulator developed by Mermaid MenZ Games Limited and released in 2023. It’s the type of game where you wrangle up some friends, scramble around the Tavern until you and you all figure out how to coordinate well enough that you come together as a cohesive team… or at least you just have an entertaining hectic game session with your friends. -Detailed breakdown review-Gameplay: There are two phases of gameplay: The Preparation phase, and The Open for Business phase.Before you start taking in customers, you can take your time, look at the type of customers you’ll have when you open the tavern, you can add and remove menu items, and order food supplies. This is the planning phase, you can even cook and brew menu items early.When you’re ready, you open your tavern for business. Now we’re on the clock, there’s a literal timer for how long the day is going to last. You'll greet guests at the front desk, bring them to a table, pick up their order, place their order on the line, make their desired menu item, and then deliver it to them. There are several “timers” going on at the same time: you need to shovel coal into the hearth to “keep the lights/energy/ovens on”, you need to get orders and then bring the food for your customers before their patience timer runs out. And of course, you need to accomplish all this before the tavern’s open status runs out and it **** can play Bronzebeard’s Tavern on your own, but I think this game is much better experienced with friends. As a solo player you feel spread a bit too thin, I'd find myself thinking "if only someone could wash the dishes and greet guests while I run around preparing food and keeping the hearth up!". Instead while I was playing on my own I found myself cutting corners with menu items, leaving people in the line outside the tavern while taking care of the customers I had and just being extra conservative on buying upgrades so I didn't run out of money. Conclusion: I like Bronzebeard’s Tavern. I’d like to buy a Mead there and relax. How could I complain about a FREE Fantasy Tavern simulator? Sure, we ran into some latency and connectivity issues. But on the whole, I enjoyed this game. It was a fun short little romp I can easily recommend to play with friends… just not any friends who don’t have very fast internet or might be located on the other side of the world. ...If you want to know more, please check out my YouTube Video!
