The Red Dragon Inn 7: The Tavern Crew turns the perspective of the series on its head and puts players in the roles of the staff of the famous Red Dragon Inn. When all the heroes have finally collapsed into their beds (or the stables), it’s time for those “behind the scenes” to enjoy their own night out—filled with drinking, gambling, and chaos in an almost empty tavern.
In the game, players take on the roles of four well‑known supporting characters from the world of Red Dragon Inn:
- Warthorn Redbeard, the lively dwarven owner of the tavern,
- Molly the Stablehand, a small but resourceful caretaker of the stables,
- Jasper the Bouncer, an aging but still tough security guard,
- The Wench, the ever‑present waitress who has finally stepped into the spotlight.
Instead of serving drinks, they are now the ones who drink, wager, and prove that they can party just as wildly as the adventurers they usually take care of.
The game is designed for 2–4 players and lasts approximately 30–60 minutes. It functions as a standalone title, while also being fully compatible with all other entries in The Red Dragon Inn series, allowing for larger and even more chaotic games.
The core mechanics remain familiar, but with an entertaining thematic twist:
- hand management and variable character powers, as each staff member has their own unique deck of cards and special abilities that reflect their role in the tavern,
- the classic Fortitude and Alcohol Content tracks—when they meet or when one drops to zero, a player is eliminated,
- betting, bluffing, drinking, and brawling, tightly tied to the “after‑hours staff” theme and packed with direct interaction,
- additional thematic card sets (such as extra decks tied to specific characters) that increase variety and replayability.
The Red Dragon Inn 7: The Tavern Crew is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to experience a wild night at the tavern from the other side of the bar and prove that bartenders and bouncers know how to party until the last coin and the very last drink are gone. 🍺🎲
