The Red Dragon Inn 5: The Character Trove

Description

--- "The Red Dragon Inn 5: The Character Trove" is a fast-paced, light-hearted card game for 2-4 players focused on post-dungeon partying, drinking, gambling, and brawling while managing gold and sobriety. Key mechanics include: - *Party management* Players drink, gamble, roughhouse, track fortitude and alcohol content to avoid blacking out. - *Gold economy* Maintain gold to avoid stable-sleeping; last conscious player with gold wins. - *Character decks* Unique 40-card decks for Sera (rogue agility), Lizwick (item collection), Joran (pranks/misdirection), Zakhan (drunken martial arts). - *Modular expansion* Standalone play or mix with prior sets/Allies for custom parties up to 5 players. - *Drink deck* 30-card deck for alcohol effects alongside 18-card item deck. The Red Dragon Inn 5: The Character Trove is a standalone, expandable card game for 2-4 players in the Red Dragon Inn series, where victorious adventurers return from dungeons to party at the inn. Players engage in drinking from a shared deck, gambling, roughhousing, and sparring while monitoring personal gold, fortitude (health), and alcohol content; running out of gold forces stable-sleeping, while blacking out from excess drink or damage allows friends to loot one's body before continuing. Victory goes to the last conscious adventurer with gold. It introduces four unique characters—stealthy rogue Sera (trains via sparring), gear-hoarding Lizwick (uses odd items), prankster mage Joran (misdirects foes and friends), drunken elf Zakhan (hybrid martial style)—each with 40-card decks emphasizing their traits. Compatible with prior box sets and Allies expansions for mixed parties, it includes a massive storage solution with 29 character mats (replacing priors), 35 deck dividers, remastered tokens (gold, platinum, fortitude, alcohol, chi), glass markers, foam spacers, bags, and full rules. ---
