Description
You and your adventuring companions are just returning to the bustling city of Greyport after your latest adventure. You are all looking forward to relaxing and spending some of your hard-earned loot at The Red Dragon Inn. The party will have to wait, though, because the city is under attack by evil monsters!
Battle for Greyport is a cooperative deck-building game based on the characters and world of The Red Dragon Inn. You will travel to important locations around the city, fighting epic battles and recruiting whatever heroes and items you can along the way. Each encounter presents more opportunities to improve your deck, but also brings more dire foes for you to face!
With five playable characters, seven different scenarios, and an assortment of variants, you can have a new game every time, adjusting the game’s difficulty as you improve.
Will you defend the city from the monsters and defeat their nefarious boss, or will the city (and the tavern!) be overrun?
The Red Dragon Inn: Battle for Greyport also contains two items for use with any of the standalone The Red Dragon Inn titles: Chronos the Time Mage character deck and Drog's Special Reserve drink card. The Deluxe Edition also includes Firewater of the Fire Mage and The Iridescent Wyvern.

- Battle Station's Lightseed, that would be great. I could use another pair of eyes on it.
- Don't all volunteer at once, y'all.
- I feel like that that that needs to be a a card that you can get in the uh Empire's End expansion or after the Empire expansion. Politically motivated and grouchy.
- So that's homework for next week. Bring bring those three and and we'll uh we'll discuss.
- I would say my favorite game designer is Ryan Mock basically because he somehow managed to make a really good game lugging that anchor Evan behind him.
