Introduction to Bed and Breakfast
When you open the box of Bed and Breakfast, you immediately catch a whiff of cozy linens and fresh coffee wafting out of the artwork. You slip into the role of an innkeeper who’s determined to turn a creaky old house into the hottest getaway on the coast. Every guest card has its own little quirk—some want a roaring fireplace and a hot breakfast, others are more interested in the garden view or a quiet writing nook—and it’s up to you to rearrange rooms, install new amenities, and keep everyone chatting about your place online.
Gameplay flows in a satisfying loop of planning and improvisation. You start with a handful of basic upgrade cards, a few resource tokens, and just enough capital to renovate one or two rooms. On your turn, you’ll draft new cards, play actions like “Add Breakfast Buffet” or “Hire Handyman,” and then collect income based on which guests you’ve managed to satisfy. The challenge comes from balancing short-term gains—say, a quick money boost from hosting a large family—with long-term goals like building that luxurious spa or expanding into a seasonal lodge.
Even though you’re all focused on your own B&B, there’s a gentle rhythm of competition. You might snag the last deluxe mattress off the market, or race your friends to secure a popular guest who curses loudly if you leave them in a draft. Then there are those twist cards that send a surprise health inspector through every property or trigger a rainy weekend that cuts your bookings in half. It keeps you on your toes without ever feeling punishing.
By the time the final scoring rolls around, most players have built wildly different inns—someone’s got a zen garden that’s raking in calm seeker points, while another’s roaring fire lounge has become the talk of the town. What makes Bed and Breakfast so charming is that it never feels like two games are alike, and you’re left swapping stories over how you lured away that high-paying honeymooner or fumbled the guest of honor. It’s lighthearted competition with a warm, cozy glow.
