2021 · Expansion for Base-game
Grand Austria Hotel: Let's Waltz!
Adds five modular expansions that integrate with the base game to introduce new venue and guest interactions. One module brings Viennese ballrooms where guests may attend dances, altering scoring and offering new actions tied to nightlife events. Other modules add campaign-style solo scenarios, a Séparée area for private visits, and optional components that change guest orders and hotel management decisions. Players still manage rooms, staff, and meals, but now balance traditional hotel operations with evening social events and solo-challenge objectives to pursue alternate strategies.

Josu Txasko7.0 De vez en cuando me gusta probar un euro clásico y le tocó la vez a este juego. Pero tengo que reconocer que se me hizo un poco bola y ver cómo un jugador despega y se hace imposible alcanzar, desmotiva un poco. Al final juegas contra tí mismo. Tengo un problema con los euros y es que la persona que más ha jugado siempre gana. No pasa lo mismo con otros juegos. Pero bueno, no está mal.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Does champagne count as a dish or a drink?
No. Champagne is neither, though it can be placed on guests in your café or kept in your kitchen like dishes and drinks (p. 5).
When I complete a guest’s order, do I have to move them into a hotel room?
No. You can instead pay the champagne cost for a ballroom space and send a dancer there; the guest’s color does not matter, and you do not turn a hotel room (pp. 5–6).
Can I use champagne I get from the guest’s reward to pay to send a dancer?
No. You must pay the champagne cost and place the dancer before gaining any rewards, including the guest’s reward (p. 6).
When are the ballrooms scored, and what happens if I have no dancers in one?
A ballroom is scored after the Emperor scoring at the end of round 3, 5, or 7, as indicated for that ballroom. If you have no dancer there when it is scored, you lose 5 VP (p. 7).
If I take a colored die, do I pay for that die too, and does its color change the action?
Pay 1 krone for each other die on that action space, not the die you take. The action’s strength is the total number of dice there, regardless of color (p. 9).
Can I take the skeleton key after I’ve passed?
No. You may take it on your first or second turn of the round, but not when or after you pass. Taking it replaces taking a die and gives you a dish or drink plus a main action at strength 1 (p. 13).
