Quotes (from this video)
- Lodge is going to be a tile placing game where you're trying to optimize your hotel to be as best as possible for different guests.
- All guests that are placed into your hotel are going to be two victory points for you at the end of the game.
- The amenities are going to be crucial not only for you to try to get some extra victory points, but at the beginning of the game it might even shape how you choose to build out your hotel.
- In a two-player game, you actually get two bell tokens, which is a key difference in how you manipulate the board compared to larger player counts.
- You score for all the guests you've housed, plus their level bonus if they're on the level they want, and then you score the amenities that meet their conditions.
