Merchants Cove: The Innkeeper

Players take the role of an innkeeper who provides room and board to adventurers rather than trading goods at the piers. Each round players observe which adventurer types are in play and prepare rooms to match the most common guest preferences. Success earns increasing income as satisfied customers return, while mismatches can trigger brawls that damage reputation and revenue. The game centers on planning and speculation about end-of-round guest composition, balancing limited room space against the risk of unrest.
