The Thick Table Tavern

I have a thing for bar/tavern management games - not sure why - and this pives up to all my childhood-bostalgia-fuelled expectations.

I play bar games for the strangely therapeutic feeling of mixing randomised drinks, colorful colleagues and characters, and snark - and this game has it all. The creative drink names were an added bonus. Came to love our boss at the end of the game, and saying goodbye was genuinely a lil sad.

Coding-wise, the game was genius - I was incredibly amazed by how many functions were in the game (not to mention beautiful UI/graphics). Loved the little touches of vibrations and bright light, the bar counter/ingredients were well done, and the day-to-day summary was neat.

All in all, a great, compact game that packs a punch and never overstays its welcome, reminiscent of bar oasis, another game I love. Only thing I had questions about was the meta-angle which, though provided some of the BEST snark and dialogue in the game, made me wonder a bit why it was there apart from some fourth wall breaking fun? It WAS an enjoyable element though, no complaints, really.
