Welcome to the Tavern!
Join Toddy in helping him recite his epic quest across the Old World in search of his greatest foe, KHAZRAK ONE EYE!
Using the infamous Dice of the Unreliable Narrator (The mystical dice that holds a myriad of OPPOSITE possibilities on its duplicitous faces) to remind Toddy of how many enemies he fought and encourage him onto even bolder embellishments.
The more impressive his story, the more beer will get bought for him. Toddy loves a tall tale, and free beer!
In each encounter you can keep rolling the dice to increase the number of enemies Toddy faced, and benefit from increased interest from Patrons (round multiplier). But you must temper Ben's suspicions by knowing when to increase the number of enemies by a little or a lot; predict whether your next roll will be higher or lower than the previous roll.
Brag too much, and Ben will call you out on it. Brag too little, and Ben may lose interest! Bank your current score to end the encounter and collect your beer. Move around the map to encounter a series of ever more deadly and exotic enemies.
Will he find his nemesis?.. Play to find out!!!

This game has fantastic writing, I laughed the whole way through.
A bit too much clicking required to get through the steps (and I think some clicks had to be in certain hitboxes that didn't make sense, like "Roll"? Maybe just my screen resolution being weird). But other than that, a lot of fun.
