The Red Dragon Inn
The Adventure's over, but the party's just getting started! You and your adventuring companions have spent all day slogging through the Dungeon, killing monsters and taking their stuff. Now you're back in town, healed up, cleaned up, and ready to party at the Red Dragon Inn. Drink, gamble, and roughhouse with your friends. But don't forget to keep an eye on your Gold. If you run out, you'll have to spend the night in the stables. Oh... and try not to get too beaten up or too drunk. If you black out, your friends will continue the party without you... after they loot your body for Gold of course!
The Red Dragon Inn is a lightweight, "take that" game with roughly a million expansions each adding new characters and often unique mechanics. Dark Paladin with a holy sword that initially deals damage, then heals whoever you bonk with it? Check. Wizard with psychotically violent Rabbit familiar? Check. Priestess with ahem "great tracts of land" who blackmails you for her healing powers? Check. THE WIZARDS PSYCHOTIC FAMILIAR HIMSELF? CHECK! DRUID WHO CAN WILDSHAPE HERSELF INTO A BIRD, BEAR OR A TREE? CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!
Rumour has it you can play this as an actual drinking game. This does not come recommended. It is recommended to play this in a fun social situation, with or without libations as neeeded!
Perfect for: the D&D group who will get all the jokes, or a family who really likes being mean to each other (in the nicest possible way)
Complexity: 1.66/5
