Tavern

Frame · Functional spaces spatial

A social meeting place – a space where strangers come together, information flows and deals are made.

Design question – Your play space is a meeting point where everyone gathers. Who meets here – friends, strangers, conspirators? And what rumours do you hear at the counter?

Reference example – Hearthstone: the whole game is a table in a tavern, with innkeeper, noise and guests. The Witcher 3: Gwent at the bar, rumours, contracts on the notice board.
