Red Dragon Inn Cormac the Mighty

Channel barbarian fury at the tavern table, dish out crushing physical punishment to your adventuring companions, and carefully balance pure battle rage against an escalating alcohol tolerance in a character expansion for The Red Dragon Inn.

The Red Dragon Inn: Allies – Cormac the Mighty (designed by Cliff Bohm, Jeff Morrow, and Sam Waller, published by SlugFest Games, Item #SFG016) introduces a formidable human barbarian to the raucous fantasy tavern brawler. A barbarian prince from the harsh North who abandoned tedious council meetings and bureaucratic trade agreements in search of ancient glorious combat, Cormac brings old-school barbarian honor—and relentless barbarian violence—to the after-party. As part of the Allies expansion series, this standalone character pack integrates directly into any core Red Dragon Inn set. The core gameplay objective remains classic tavern survival: drink, gamble, and brawl to keep your Gold stash high and ensure your Fortitude remains above your Alcohol Content to avoid passing out or getting tossed out by the wench.

The primary mechanical hurdle stems from managing Cormac’s unique Barbarian Rage system. As Cormac plays Action, Sometimes, and Anytime cards bearing Rage icons, they feed into his Rage Pool (divided between Building Rage and Raging piles) instead of the standard discard pile. Accumulating cards flips his sequential Rage Tiles (A through D). Each active tier significantly boosts Cormac’s damage output—causing massive bonus Fortitude loss to opponents whenever he brawls—but it also severely penalizes his impulse control, adding extra Alcohol Content to every drink he consumes. Pushing his rage to the limit lets Cormac pummel rivals out of the game in rapid succession, but an unchecked fury can cause him to drink himself unconscious before the rest of the tavern falls. Designed for 2 to 5 players aged 13 and up, a complete tavern contest plays out in 30 to 60 minutes. To survive the night, you must know when to stoke the flames of battle and when to cool off before your own rage finishes you off.
