For what it's worth, I dislike deck building games, but LOVE Taverns.
There is something so charming in this game that pulls me back to it.
It can be the fact that none of us in 6 plays so far didn't have bad last few turns, or did but had the way to work around it.
It is just a blast.
And soooo quick.

A lot of people talk about the luck in the game, but I'm ok with it. I like lots of games with luck in them. Quacks, I find, is even more lucky/unlucky. The thing I like about Taverns is that with the deck building, you go through all your cards. You just may not always get them in the best order. In Quacks, I can draw white chips early in every single round since the bag is reset. But sequencing through all your cards mitigates that somewhat. It's not heavy, by any means, but I find it very fun.

The more I play this game the more I enjoy it. I wish the dishwasher would be like workers in castles of burgundy, move the die up or down, and it feels like it needs another round or 2 I'm always wishing I could upgrade more areas but run out of turns!. I love the modular board, so cleaver! Lots of fiddly bits to the game, but that really makes it fun for me.

People dislike the luck thats gives you a bad day. Thats why I LOVE it! You have the guy that makes you double beer but you need your washer to turn the 4 into a 5 but you didn't draw the washer! Oh well, you washer called out sick! LOL. The drafting dice keep this game on point. Try to run a real business, you will have BAD days.
If you want a game that goes your way all the time, this is not for you.

It's interesting that some advertisement has mentioned that this "The next Quacks" From what I've seen, I can play Quacks with my 10 year old. I don't see her understanding what to do in Taverns. This one looks very interesting though something my wife may enjoy as she does Like Quacks very much. Perhaps I'll wait to see what's to come in the expansion, assuming that there will be one. Right now I'm holding off. Awaiting some great titles in the next couple of months from KS backed.
