What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Monster Tavern is a solo-developed game, and player feedback has been a huge help in figuring out what works, what doesn't, and what needs another round.

Early Access lets me keep building the game alongside the people actually playing it. I want to keep adding cards, monsters, bartenders, and new bars while using community feedback to help shape what comes next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect Monster Tavern to remain in Early Access for roughly 1-2 years”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The plan is more Monster Tavern.

More bartenders with their own card pools and playstyles, more cards and Trinkets to build around, and more bars filled with new monsters and bosses.

I also plan to keep improving and balancing the existing game as development continues.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Monster Tavern currently has two playable bartenders, two full bars with their own monsters and bosses, over 100 cards to build with, Trinkets to collect, and Difficulty Mugs for players looking for a tougher run.

Both bars can be played from start to finish.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No price difference is planned right now.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Player feedback has already helped shape balance changes, new features, quality-of-life improvements, and plenty of fixes. There’s also a Discord for feedback, discussion, and bug reports.”

About This Game

RUN A TAVERN FOR MONSTERS

You’re the bartender. The customers are monsters. And they’re not particularly patient.

Build a deck of Drinks and Actions, put your creations on the bar, and serve whatever walks through the door before they tear the place apart.

BUILD THE DRINKS. RUN THE BAR.

Your Drinks are your fighters.

Some hit hard. Some keep the bar standing. Some need time to age. Others get stronger when you build around them.

Draft new cards as the week goes on, upgrade your recipes, grab Trinkets, and turn a pile of questionable beverages into a deck that actually works.

Or doesn’t.

FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS. THEN BREAK IT.

Every run gives you a new pile of Drinks, Actions, and Trinkets to work with.

Build around what you find. Chase a combo you probably shouldn’t. Turn a mediocre Drink into the strongest thing in the bar.

Once you’ve got a handle on things, Difficulty Mugs make the monsters stronger and add new behaviors to deal with.

AND WE’RE NOT DONE YET.

Monster Tavern is in Early Access and still growing.

Right now, there are two bartenders, each with their own cards to draft, and two full bars with unique monsters and bosses to fight your way through.

More bartenders, cards, bars and challanges are on the way.
