Player Handbook
How to Play: Beginner to Grand Tavernier
1. The First Pint
When you first step into Tavern, you begin with a modest ground-floor bar managed by Kaede. Unlock basic brewery facilities to start brewing your first liters of ale. Your cellar will automatically start filling.
2. Level Up Your Waifus
Every level granted to your staff enhances their Charisma. Charisma governs how much ale your patrons will clamor to purchase every second. Higher charisma directly produces exponentially greater gold revenue.
3. Mind The Cellar Storage
If your beer demand outpaces your brewery production, your cellar will eventually drain to zero! When empty, patrons cannot buy ale and your gold revenue halts. Reinvest your gold into buildings to restore positive net flow.
4. Unlock New Floors
Once you gather enough gold, tap the Unlock Next Floor button. Each new floor summons a new waifu hero and permanently raises the tavern's global earning ceiling.
5. Grand Reopening & Prestige
Reaching elite floors unlocks the prestige system. By hosting a Grand Reopening, you trade current floors for permanent celestial artifacts, giving you immense multipliers to speed through future runs.
