This is a standalone game that can be combined with the original Red Dragon Inn, to create adventuring parties of up to eight drunken players. Red Dragon Inn II includes its own drink deck, player mats, counters, Gold, markers, and the following heroic adventurers: Dimli the Dwarf: Grumpy, but tough and loyal, Dimli always seems to have a stash of gold secreted away somewhere. He can pretty much drink anyone else under the table. He's really, really good with his matched set of dwarven axes. He's not so good with darts, though. When he starts playing, duck. Eve the Illusionist: Eve defies description, mostly because we don't know what she really looks like. Her powers of illusion have saved her friends countless times from the extremely gullible monsters of the deep dungeon. She's been known to use her skills on her fellow party members when she gets bored. Fleck the Bard: Fleck is a dashing half-elf, ready with a smile or a song. His heroic tales and stirring lute-playing raises his friends' spirits, filling them with courage as they face the horrors of the deep dungeon. Fleck is always up for carousing, no matter the day or night. All the girls think he's so dreamy. Gog the Half-Ogre: A hulking brute from the flinty mountains who unfortunately doesn't know his own strength. He's not the brightest torch in the dungeon, but he's a nice guy and he tries hard. Never, ever dance with Gog.

Not as good as the original
»
Don't get me wrong--this is a decent stand-alone game. It's just that it doesn't live up to the standard set by the original game.
Characters here are a dour dwarf, a big oafish half-ogre, a sexy illusionist, and a narcissistic bard. However the characters just don't seem as *fun* as they were in the original. The dwarf, in particular, is just kind of dull and uninteresting. What made the first one so good was that the characters were so silly and kinetic. Here, they're just there.
I'm not sure why Slugfest made the decision to release this as a stand-alone game. You get everything that was in the original, again. (To be fair, the new Drinks deck has some new cards, but that's minor.) The only reason I can think of is to allow five- or six-player games. (More than that is probably too many.) Hopefully, if they make any more additions to this excellent game, they'll decide to release characters a-la-carte, or perhaps in two-packs. I really don't want to buy the *entire* game for a third time, but I'd be more than willing to buy some new character decks.
What it comes down to is this: if you don't own the original, buy that first. It's the same game, but better. But if you already have it, this is a more-than-adequate expansion. It's just a pity that they packaged it as they did.
