Hotel Life (1989)

About this game

A very funny game where you equip a hotel, hire employees and try to get guests into your hotel. But they are waaaayy demanding, and some may ruin your equipment (like smash the mini-bar) or make your staff resign. And if you are unlucky, the army will choose your hotel for lodging a company (pays bad and destroys equipment). But if you have all he wants, the sheik might just drop by. In the end the hotel with the best reputation wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
