Welcome to Spirit Island, a co-op game featuring game elements that both Decoy and myself have gone on record saying we absolutely love. However...there is a slight discrepancy, that will lead to some interesting chatter and dealmaking during The Gauntlet. As amazing as it is to type, this could be a new S-Tier game for Decoy, the proverbial hater!

"In Red Dragon Inn, you and your friends are a party of heroic, fantasy adventurers. You've raided the dungeon, killed the monsters, and taken their treasure. Now you're back, and what better way to celebrate your most recent victory than to spend an evening at the Red Dragon Inn. You and your adventuring companions will spend the night drinking, gambling, and roughhousing. The last person who is both sober enough to remain conscious and shrewd enough to hold onto his Gold Coins wins the game."
