Tavern Master

This is the perfect balance between challenging and cozy. I love business tycoon games but hate when they feel too "mechanical" and predictable. Tavern Master does a great job of letting you control how many patrons you have, and lets you control the managerial aspects of employees and the logistics to try and maximize efficiency. The other side of it is getting to actually design the layout of your tavern and decorate it. And the lighting has a warm glow that makes the game extra aesthetic!

It could be an alright game with a lot more content, whether it be visual customization (eg. furnitures, lighting, wallpapers) or gameplay complexities. But every mechanic that gets introduced almost immediately exhausts all gameplay as soon as you place a couple of relevant items to it; eg. you finally unlock a new type of drink after hours of gameplay! You stock it. The end. After that point, it's just a waiting game, refilling stocks, gaining money, and maybe working towards achievements. Probably fine to purchase on a sale. Not really a fulfilling gaming experience otherwise.

I always wanted to contribute to medieval alcoholism

My god does this game REALLY drag on in the end game, felt like I had played for 10 more hours than I should have because grinding research and quests takes forever. The whole fire extinguishing mechanic is pointless. You only need the level 1 fire extinguisher on each floor because it doesnt spread fast at all an there is always going to be a staff member near it, it also is pretty rare for a fire to break out because fire chance is based off number of lights and candle quality, which becomes incredibly cheap. Takeout windows are also pointless because you only get one for most of the game and then when you get unlimited kitchen objects you have multiple floors that would be too much effort to rearrange the floor plan to make room for a takeout window. Same thing with hotels, by the time they are unlocked you already have nowhere to put them until you unlock the next floor. Then there are toilets, which run into the same issue as mentioned before, but only this time you are force...

Great game

This is a fun game to be low key killing some time. You get emursed into trying to upgrade and upkeep your tavern.

This game is the perfect balance of relaxing and challenging. The ongoing music is charming and it combines well with the aesthetics of the game. The animations are fun and the mechanics are pretty easy to learn. What I love most about this game are the little things it makes you consider, like how the quality of the candle wax you use affects your risk for fire, or how guests are more likely to tolerate long wait times if there's a band to watch/listen to. Just when you start to feel you know everything a new mechanic is introduced, renewing your interest and engaging your mind. I am definitely including this as one of the best sims I've played in a long while, and I have no doubt I'll continue syncing time into it until I have every achievement.

Simple but fun

this isa good game pleasev play
