Welcome to the Farrago Tavern
Farrago Tavern is a competitive storytelling game of boasts, bets, and limitless possibilities. Players will assume the roles of villainous and valiant characters to tell fantastical and interweaving stories of their exploits. Each player will tell their greatest tall tale, while the other players influence it by placing bets, or derail the story entirely by buying them drinks.
Farrago Tavern is currently still in development but the game is completely playable RIGHT NOW! A print to play version of the game is available under the Play the Game section. Simply print the PDF, cut along the dotted lines, and you are ready for a night of fun and wild storytelling.
Our Kickstarter and Goals
In the coming months, we will be starting a Kickstarter campaign for Farrago Tavern. The campaign will serve the twin purposes of hiring an artist to develop individual art for each card, as well as helping us get an initial run of the cards done and delivered to backers. If you would like to get updates subscribe to our mailing list and you'll be the first to know when the campaign launches!
Announcement!
Hello Everyone!
We know it has been a while since we last posted, but we have been hard at work in the meantime. And we have some pretty awesome stuff to share with you. :)
After receiving feedback from beta testers, friends, and the website, we have made some changes to the rule set for Farrago Tavern. We believe the new rule set is easier to read and understand while still facilitating those chaotic and interweaving stories our players seem to love. The new rule set will replace the current Print&Play version of the game when this post goes live, so you can try out the brand new Farrago Tavern Rules RIGHT NOW! We would love to go into detail about the motivation for the changes, but that would be far too much for this post and a perfect segway for...
A Development Blog! We are starting a development blog for Farrago Tavern that will chronicle our experience in creating the game. While we have both been avid gamers for most of our lives, neither of us work in the game industry; so we would love to record the journey from enthusiasts to developer and share it with you all. There are many lessons we have learned about game play and design; we would love a channel to discuss those lessons and explain the reasoning and processes behind Farrago Tavern. The Development Blog will be available off of the website’s homepage.
We are also starting work on a 72 card “Core” deck for Farrago Tavern. This deck will include elements and prompts from everyday life such as “The Office”, “The Airport”, and “The Hipster”. Farrago Tavern has always been developed with the idea of mish-mashing different genres together, but we wanted to make a deck that would be more relatable and more accessible to new players. Once Farrago Tavern is kickstarted, the Core Deck will be available alongside the other Genre Decks. However, you will be able to play with the Core Deck much sooner than that, as we will be adding 36 cards from the Core Deck to the Print&Play game as soon as they are ready. Our hope is to continue the Core series after the initial deck along with the Genre Sets, so that those not particularly interested in the genre mashing aspect of the game will always have new content to look forward to.
Things are starting to ramp up, and we cannot wait to hear what you think of the new and improved Farrago Tavern. Hopefully our next post will come soon, but in the meantime, check out the Development blog. Our first post discusses the reasoning behind the aforementioned changes to the rule set.
Keep those drinks coming and those stories rambling.
