A dwarf, a magician and a halfling walk into a bar… epic parody! Get this free app and live the tale of one halfling chef and his quest to regain a stolen special ingredient. Mobile catering meets high fantasy and time management in a game about a halfling tavern that pops up in all sorts of places!

Bobo Buttkins the halfling owns a food & beverage business. The problem is that halflings in his village are pretty awful customers: they eat and drink in vast quantities but frequently “forget” to pay. Even worse, a mysterious evil figure has just run off with Bobo’s special ingredient! Desperate for revenue, poor Bobo must roam Midgaard in search of customers while pursuing the thief over hill, over dale, through bush, through briar, and so on.

Guide Bobo and his ragtag band of caterers across Midgaard. You will visit the tranquil elf-home of Splitsvale, brave the forbidding heights of the Impaired Visibility Alpine Range, and venture into the Gloomweald, which is a smelly forest with a severe bug problem and is about as pleasant as it sounds. Onward!

Gameplay:
You must help Bobo and his busy staff serve the hungry denizens of Midgaard. Work your way through several amazing locations while facing extreme catering challenges as you attempt to serve “colorful” clients. With customers like nasty goblins and snarling wolves, no one ever said that life would be easy (or long) for the proprietor of An Unexpected Tavern!

Hire and level up stalwart companions to help you run your mobile tavern. Your heroic assistants include the sturdy dwarf Boring Larchbuckler, the pecunious elf L. Ron Half-Alien, and The Great Gandolfi, conjurer extraordinaire!

Think strategically as you upgrade Bobos mobile tavern into a legendary brand renowned across all Midgaard. Perform well and you will attract famous customers like the annoying Begonia Satchel-Buttkins and the mysterious thief who stole Bobo’s magic ingredient!
