It's 1831 in Peyrebeille, France. Times are tough for the common man, and it's all the family can do to make ends meet as lowly innkeepers. Soon, they hatch a diabolical plan to prey upon the wealthy travelers who frequent the establishment! However, the greed has caught up with them, and now it's everyone for themselves. Enter the macabre humor and clever gameplay of The Bloody Inn, a devilish game that pits family members against each other in a battle to see who can walk away with the most francs. No crime is too sinister, and no traveler is safe! Will you bribe some guests to help you with your dark deeds? Will you build a new annex in which to hide the bodies? Avoid the police whenever you can, and remember, only one player walks away the richest in The Bloody Inn!
The Bloody Inn is unique in both mechanics and theme, matched by the gloomy and tongue-in-cheek art style. With quick, engaging rounds, straightforward rules for players of all skill levels, and an assortment of game variants and optional rules, The Bloody Inn offers a fast and fun experience for players with a dark sense of humor. Before you know it, you'll be deep into “the hotel business” with profit on your mind!
Game Play:
Each night in The Bloody Inn, you get the chance to execute your nefarious plans. The innkeepers have an unfortunate penchant for murder, so on your turn, you’ll decide whether to build more locations, bribe a guest to join your team, kill one of the guests of the hotel, or scramble to hide a body. Alternatively, you can launder some of the francs you’ve taken from the pockets of dead guests, which helps to increase your final score.
The innkeepers are limited to two actions per round, so each choice you make bears significant weight. Perhaps it’s time to build an annex where more bodies can be hidden, or maybe you just need more accomplices to help you with your scheme. Is tonight the right night to dispose of a former guest? You accomplish all of these tasks by discarding Guest cards from your hand. Many of these guests have skills that you can use to your advantage, so it’s up to you to construct a hand that can complete your awful scheme as efficiently as possible. With careful planning and a little luck, you can make a tidy profit from your terrible crimes.
After a guest is killed in the hotel, the player responsible needs to hide the body to avoid getting caught. Bodies can be placed in the annexes that you build—even though the innkeepers have turned to murder, they still have a certain amount of honor, and they won't steal money from a corpse until they’ve given it a proper burial. Of course, this means you need to bury the bodies if you want to make a profit.
As dawn breaks over the town of Peyrebeille, there is the potential for a sudden police investigation. Any innkeeper who fails to bury corpses will have to scramble to hide the evidence. If a player has unburied corpses, he or she must pay the village gravedigger a hefty sum for each body. You'll lose the money you might have earned from the guest, but at least you’ll avoid prison for another night.
The remaining guests in the inn who were lucky enough to survive the night then continue along their journey. If you have any guests still in your rooms by the time morning’s light appears, you receive one franc for lodging before these guests continue on their way. Finally, it's time to pay the accomplices you've recruited and added to your hand of cards. You’ll have to pay one franc for each character you have in your hand at the end of the round.
Soon, it’ll be another new evening in Peyrebeille. Guests begin to arrive and the whole terrifying cycle begins again. Once the innkeepers have gone through two seasons, the game ends and the richest player is the winner!
