DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME GRAND AUSTRIA HOTEL 

 "Grand Austria Hotel" is a wonderful Eurogame in which players need to develop their own hotel business. The events of the game take place in the middle of the 19th century in Vienna, the cultural capital of Europe. Players are owners of small hostels, with only 10 crowns of starting capital, begin to develop and promote your hostel to the level of a grand hotel in Austria. Hiring staff, meticulous guests, impeccable service in the hotel restaurant, clean, prepared rooms, proper settlement, etc. It is not enough that all this needs to be managed talentedly, you still need to earn money and win winning points Here is an incredibly interesting and ranked board game from the creators of such a hit as Tzolk'in.

TOUR OF THE HOTEL

 Welcome and don't be shy - this is your hotel! Each player receives a two-sided tablet of a four-story hotel with its own kitchen, as well as a restaurant with three tables. The green area with numbers is your wallet. Accounting for money is carried out by moving the marker through the cells. At the start of the game, set it to the number 10.

 First of all, hotel rooms must be prepared for occupancy. Please note that all rooms have three statuses: not ready (a room behind a closed door), ready for occupancy (a room with an open door), and occupied (a do not disturb sign is on the door of this room). Number statuses are implemented in the game by purchasing and placing special double-sided tiles. At the start of the game, each player has three numbers prepared for occupancy.

GUESTS

 As you understand, the main thing in the hotel business is the guests. Only by satisfying all their whims and demands, you will receive additional bonuses, money and victory points. All guests in the game are divided into 4 types (by color).

 Blues are aristocrats, representatives of the upper class, they stay exclusively in blue rooms. Yellow people are creative personalities, artists and poets, they should be housed in yellow rooms. Reds are ordinary citizens who occupy red rooms, and only tourists (green cards) will take any available room.

LET'S GO TO THE RESTAURANT

 Let's continue the tour! Before checking in, your guests enter the hotel restaurant. Each of them has an individual order marked in the upper left corner of the map.

 As you can see, the artist ordered only a glass of wine (red cube), Colonel Furst - a double coffee (black cubes), and the merchant decided to indulge himself with the famous Viennese strudel (brown cube), a piece of cake (white cube) and also a glass of wine (red cube) ).

 Only after you fully satisfy his order, the guest will leave you a pleasant bonus indicated on his card and go to rest in his room. Everything is going according to plan: firstly, he will free up a place in the restaurant for the next guest, and secondly, the occupied room will also bring you certain bonuses.

MEET THE STAFF

 From the very beginning of the game, you are the only employee of the hotel. You are the owner, manager, bartender, maid, etc. In principle, depending on the chosen tactics, you can continue to develop the hotel alone until the end of the game. However, if you need helpers, they are always there:

• Hiring a chef will cost you 3 kroner, for which you will receive one unit of coffee, wine, strudel and cake.
• If your hotel has a manager, then at the end of the game he will bring 4 victory points for every three occupied rooms of a different color.
• The porter will bring 3 victory points for each occupied yellow room.
• A messenger will cost you as much as 6 crowns, but throughout the game, you can invite guests to the hotel absolutely free of charge. And what else do you have to pay for?! - you ask. Yes, my goodness, the strict hotel business is like that... the concept of "kickback" already existed in Austria in the middle of the 19th century (smile).

LETS GO TO THE RECEPTION

 Reception is the main action area in the game. At the beginning of each round, the first player rolls a handful of dice and distributes them to the action spaces. The value on the die determines the type of action, and their number indicates the number of actions.

 After that, the players take turns performing the selected action by removing cubes from the cell, or pass if there are no more cubes left on the desired cell and they do not need other actions. Let's consider all possible options in more detail:

• For each cube on the first cell, the player has the right to take one strudel or cake from the supply. The player decides how much to take, but the main condition is that he cannot take more cakes than strudels. By performing this action, the player has the right to place the received cubes, either in his kitchen as a reserve, or immediately to the order of guests in the restaurant (bypassing the kitchen).
• For each cube on the second cell, the player takes one wine or coffee from the supply. The situation with the first cell is absolutely similar. There cannot be more coffee than wine, etc.
• Cubes with the value "three" allow the player to prepare for settlement one number for each cube. To do this, take a tile of the appropriate color and add it to the tablet on the side with the door open. If the room preparation has a price, you will have to pay it. WARNING! Rooms in the hotel are not prepared in a row, but only next to already ready or occupied rooms.
• For each cube of four, the player can either replenish his wallet by one crown, or increase the Austrian Emperor's loyalty to his business. Yes, my friend, owning a hotel in the center of Vienna, which claims to be the Grand Austria Hotel, you must understand that without the Imperial favor nothing will succeed. Fines and the end of your business (smile).
• Fives allow you to hire staff (play a staff card from your hand). Moreover, you can hire only one employee in one turn, and the number of fives means a discount on the price during hiring, up to zero.
• By choosing an action cell with sixes, the player can pay one crown and perform any action from the first to the fifth inclusive. At the same time, the number of selected actions is determined by the number of sixes.

 Players perform one action each, starting from the first to the last participant, and one more in the reverse order. That is, only two actions. Quite often it happens when the player is not satisfied with the situation on the field of action: the necessary cubes have been dismantled by the opponents, and he does not need the available cubes at all. In this case, he can save, wait until all participants have completed their two actions, and then roll the dice on the action field (although the dice will not be in full).

EVERYTHING IS UNDERSTANDABLE WITH THE HOTEL, BUT WHERE DO THE GUESTS COME FROM?

 A very timely question! In the center of the table there is a playing field for recording all official information, there is also a place for newly arrived guests.

 Let's consider it in more detail:

• Players count points along the perimeter of the field.
• There are three policy cards in the upper left corner. They are chosen randomly from 12 possible cards, and they are active throughout the game. By fulfilling the conditions indicated on these cards, players will receive victory points. Moreover, the sooner they complete, the more points they will receive.
• The scale of the current round is placed in the upper right corner of the field. After the third, fifth and seventh rounds, the Imperial Loyalty points are calculated and the corresponding bonuses and penalties are obtained, indicated on the tiles under the round scale.
• In fact, the Imperial Loyalty scale itself is located in the center of the playing field.
• Even lower is the conveyor for guest cards. A deck of guest cards is placed next to the playing field, the first five of them are laid out on the field, and after the guests leave the hotels, the row shifts and new cards appear from the deck. Pay attention to the price under guest cells. When picking up a guest card, the player must pay their cost.

GOAL OF THE GAME

 The game lasts for 7 rounds, at the end of which the winner will be the participant who scored the most points, not money. As you might have noticed, this board game has quite a lot of analogies with running a business in real life. Here, too, money is not a goal, but only a means.

WHO IS THE GAME FOR?
