Tavern Master is all about managing your medieval tavern. You start with a very small room, couple of benches and tables and build your way up to a huge successful tavern with a kitchen, rooms for guests, group of loyal staff and much more!

What it feels like

A low-stakes, comfortable experience focused on building something pleasant and welcoming rather than high-pressure competition. A carefree, unburdened management experience that invites relaxation and creative building without heavy stakes.

How it plays

Constructing and expanding a tavern from a small room into a large establishment with kitchen, guest rooms, and staff is the central system. Managing money, materials, and operating costs to keep the tavern profitable and growing is a persistent pressure throughout play. Running a profitable tavern business through revenue, expenses, and expansion decisions is the central pursuit.
