This tabletop experience centers around a family of scheming peasants who have opened an establishment with a dark secret: unwelcome guests are discreetly eliminated for their coin. Players manage resources, launder money, and attempt to outwit the authorities while maintaining the facade of a welcoming inn. The objective is to accumulate the most wealth by the end of the game, achieved through a blend of careful planning and ruthless efficiency.
The title’s appeal lies in its blend of dark humor and strategic gameplay. Its mechanics promote player interaction and create tense situations as individuals try to anticipate each other’s moves and avoid suspicion. The historical context, while stylized, provides a thematic backdrop that resonates with tales of highwaymen and hidden crimes. Its success stems from a unique combination of resource management, deduction, and a compellingly morbid theme.
