Tavern
Town shop, built on a yard plot
The Tavern is a town shop for drinks, soups and stories. It goes on a yard plot and costs 6 Building Kit I, 4 Wooden Kit I and 2 Iron Kit I.
It sells Beer, Berry Cider, Apple Cider and Blueberry Cider, which it also buys, and carrot, cabbage and vegetable soups, which it does not buy back. Tier II adds fish soup and tier III soldier’s stew. It is the only trader that deals in Stories: it sells them and buys them, and the grade on offer rises with the tier.
Happiness comes from the four drinks. At tier I, 40 of each a week make up the full 8; at tier III, 100 of each.

Notes
- The upgrades need cider the Tavern sells itself: 20 Apple Cider for tier II and 20 Blueberry Cider for tier III. Its normal stock of each is 20 at tier I, but buying the whole stock drives the price up; ciders are also brewed in a Fermentation Barrel.
- Tier II gives 3 village reputation, not 2 as at most shops.
