Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to throw a royal party of the finest for his daughter. Thousands of guests from all over the country were invited; traveling merchants, monks, soldiers, and many others flocked to the capital. But, oh no! Because everyone had hoped for last-minute discounts, no one had pre-booked a hotel room. Now the great race for the last free rooms begins! Who will get a place to sleep, who will have to stay outside, and who will make it through the back door with a nasty trick? In Overbooking, each player tries to place their guest cards in the few available hotels to collect points — but each hotel can accommodate only a certain number of guests. You have to guess how many guests your opponents will send into the race for the rooms and what devious plans they will make to get in your way.
