Fortune's Tavern! The Fantsay Tavern Sim! Windows game

Fortune’s Tavern was an idea that sprang from my studying Latin and Medieval Studies at university. One of the first things you begin to realise about History is that the best stories are not about the mighty kings and glorious generals, but the ones about the struggling farmers, solitary monks, or humble tavern owners. It is these stories of everyday people that truly capture the imagination and bring History to life. I decided that if this worked for History, then it could work for videogames, and thus, Fortune’s Tavern was conceived!

Fortune's Tavern is a real-time, fantasy, tavern-simulator where you take on the role of Mathias Gambridge, the latest in a long line of owners of the notorious tavern. It's your job to rebuild and renovate the ailing tavern against the backdrop of a fantasy world at war.

Yet turning a profit in troubled times is never easy, what with bandit raids, hauntings, infestations, prowling hordes of zombies, and tavern guests from opposing factions who want nothing better than to kill each other.

Fortune's Tavern does offer the aspiring tavern owner some advantages however, in the form of copious outbuildings to help boost its appeal; such as shrines, temples, a forge, and a fight pit in which you can host a variety of different fight nights to entertain your guests and earn extra gold.

If you can struggle through the wars and the paranormal and still turn a profit, then an epic adventure awaits as you delve into the depths of the taverns 'endless' basements, with hired heroes to protect you, to discover the dark and terrifying secret of the tavern's founder, Xavier Fortune. Will you succeed, or like your predecessors, will you be driven into madness, poverty, and an early grave?
