What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Monster Tavern is a passion project that I've worked on for about a year now as a solo developer and think is a lot of fun! That said card games need players to play them so that I can better balance the game and see what kinds of features people want expanded on. I want to keep adding content that the community drives.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3-6 months”

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

“I plan to keep building more content. More Cards, Enemies & Challenges.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game's base tavern is ready to play and there are over 80 cards to experiment with.”

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?

“I do weekly Dev Streams where we take community feedback and work on the game. We also have a Discord for discussion and bug reporting.”

About This Game

🏆 Winner – Best Deckbuilder

TooManyGames Indie Showcase 2026

Monster Tavern is a roguelike deckbuilder where you run a dangerous monster bar, serving creatures fresh off a day of harassing heroes and wreaking havoc. When night falls weary monsters crowd into the tavern looking to drink, gripe, and unwind. Serve them drinks and get them out before they mess your place up.

Beneath its charming art style lies a challenging deckbuilder. Draft new cards between shifts, collect powerful trinkets, and build a deck capable of handling everything from thirsty goblins to towering monstrosities.

Replayability is at the heart of Monster Tavern. Every run is an opportunity to discover new combinations of Drinks, Actions, and trinkets. Complete goals to unlock new starting trinkets that change how each run unfolds. Once you've mastered the base game, each bar offers four Difficulty Mugs that increase the challenge by enhancing monster stats and introducing new behaviors.

We're actively updating Monster Tavern throughout Early Access. The game currently features two bartenders, each with their own unique pool of cards to draft, and one fully playable bar. A second bar is already in development and coming soon, bringing new monsters, cards, and challenges while nearly doubling the game's content.
