Whiskey Times: Still Famous társasjáték

Angol leírás

In Whiskey Times: Still Famous, you're hosting the most unusual whiskey tasting in history—your guests are dead, opinionated, and expecting their favourite pours. Historical figures from Churchill to Chaplin have arrived with specific drink preferences, and your reputation depends on whether you can serve them the perfect whiskey in the right glass with exactly the ingredients they demand. But gathering premium bottles is difficult, and sometimes a good substitute from the right region has to do.
The core tension comes from managing limited resources across multiple competing goals. Acquiring whiskey bottles consumes your entire turn's drawing power, while glassware and mixers come cheaper but are equally essential. You'll navigate dynamic markets that shift whenever players swap guests or gift bottles, creating a constantly evolving puzzle of availability and timing. Event cards shuffled into the resource deck add welcome windfalls and frustrating setbacks, keeping everyone on their toes as they race to complete their drink recipes.
Strategic depth emerges from the perfect-versus-substitute scoring system. Rushing to finish with regional substitutes might get you across the finish line first, but a player who carefully times their perfect pours and stacks flavour profile bonuses can score significantly higher. Victory tokens from gifting whiskeys to dismiss difficult guests add another strategic layer—sometimes it's worth abandoning a demanding historical figure for someone more accommodating. The game rewards players who can read the market flow, time their whiskey acquisitions, and balance speed against quality scoring.
Victory goes to the highest score once any player completes all their guests with at least one perfect drink served. This "highest score wins" condition means the player who triggers the endgame isn't guaranteed victory—careful optimization and bonus maximization throughout the game matter more than simply finishing first. With historical flavour text, educational whiskey region distinctions, and a tone that's irreverent without being disrespectful to the dead, Whiskey Times offers strategic hand management wrapped in an entertaining historical premise.
