## Description

At the beginning of the 20th century, Vienna was one of the major centers of Europe. Artists, politicians, nobles, citizens, and tourists populated the streets of the city, and the emperor ruled them all. You are in the thick of the Viennese Modern Age, trying your luck as a hotelier. For that, you must expand your little hotel and prepare new rooms. In the meantime, your guests require culinary excellence. Make sure each and every guest receives a proper dish and drink. You may need to hire additional staff. Despite all that, do not forget to render homage to the emperor, or you will fall into disgrace pretty soon. Face the challenge and turn your little hostel into the Grand Austria Hotel!

**Q: is this 2022 version? or the older one?**
A: I bought my copy in 2017.  I'm assuming anything sold today would be the most recent edition unless the most recent edition is not yet in wide distribution.

**Q: Is it still fun with two players?**
A: It's great as a two player game. There's not quite the same competition to complete the politics cards quickly with only two players and you have a better chance of a guest card you wanted still being in the queue on your next turn, but that just means your strategy might be a bit different in a two player game versus a four player game. Currently, this is my top pick when I need a two-player game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, Addicting, Great Theme
*by J***E on December 31, 2015*

Such a fun game! I heard about this game on Rahdo's Youtube Channel and knew I had to have it. It's not so heavy that I lose interest half-way through the game. Gameplay says 90 minutes on box - prepare for a bit longer if you are playing with the maximum 4 players for the first few times. I've played this game 3 times so far, each with different people than the last, so having to go through all the rules and different aspects of the game does take some time. I'm sure it'll get closer to that 90 minute mark the more I play with the same people. I love the theme of the game and the rules are very clear except a couple hotel guests have a marking on them that is not explained clearly - I put two and two together though, and figured out what it meant just from looking at a few of the other images on similar guest cards. Another complaint from friends is the long turn cycle between the first players' 1st and 2nd turns of each round... 1st player gets a token with a 1 and an 8 on it, 2nd player gets 2 and 7, 3rd player gets 3 and 6, and 4th player gets to take two turns in the round with 4 and 5. I really have no problem with this - it's only fair that the 4th player would get to go twice, and backwards from there, since 1st player gets 1st pick. Keep in mind - you could be waiting about 10 or so minutes between your 1st turn and your 2nd. Good thing about this though - your turn doesn't hinge on you being present during the other players' turns. I consider this as a nice break to stretch my legs or grab a snack. This game has so much return playability (I don't know another word for it) - I don't see myself getting tired of this game anytime soon. Hopefully this review was helpful!
