Last Call: The Bartender Game (2010)

About this game

The customers are restless, the drink orders are piling up, and the bartenders won’t mix drinks until they have the right bottles in hand! Pass the bottles from one bartender to another until someone can fill an order. But beware, if the bartender has too many bottles, they’ll water down your cocktail with ice cubes. Get the bartenders to fill your drink orders and collect the fewest ice cubes along the way. Find out who runs the best bar when it’s time for “Last Call”! A fast-paced game for 2 to 5 players. Although themed to mixing alcoholic drinks, it is simple enough for an eight-year-old to play. Continual involvement for all players, and language-independent components. Rulebook includes English, French, and German rules. A good pick-up or end-of-session game. - publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
