Published by revered board game manufacturer Avalon Hill, The Yawning Portal includes everything you need to start playing. It comes packaged with 68 different heroes for you to serve, tons of cards and tokens to drive the action, and a well-designed board to contain all the action. Your core responsibility is serving up food that meets the preference of each of these visitors, though you’ll encounter plenty of twists that impact how you play the game.
The Yawning Tavern can be played solo or you can have three other people join in on the fun for some competitive action.
Keep in mind that this game is sold by a third-party seller, though it’s shipped by Amazon. That means Prime members are still eligible for two-day shipping and free returns are included with your purchase.
