The Red Dragon Inn: Allies – Spyke and Flower (2018)

About this game

Spyke and Flower are munchkins – adventurers whose sole purpose in life is to kill monsters, take their stuff, and level up...so they can kill more monsters and take more stuff. In this alternate timeline, they've come to the Red Dragon Inn to see what's up at this tavern that they've heard so much about... The Good: The tavern's new patrons are eager to make a good impression. The Bad: It isn't working. The Red Dragon Inn: Allies – Spyke and Flower is our first standalone Allies expansion, letting two players drink, brawl and gamble the night away to prove that they are the best munchkin around. It contains everything you need to play the game, including a brand new Drink Deck as well as a new automated third-player game variant. So play head to head with a friend, or combine this game with any of our other The Red Dragon Inn sets for parties of three or more players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
