The Great Evening Banquet

We’ve been following Saashi & Saashi for some time and have long appreciated their thoughtful approach to games. Simple to learn, refreshing to play, and always beautifully illustrated.

Set at the turn of the 20th century, The Great Evening Banquet invites players to step into the role of diplomats, arranging distinguished guests around influential VIPs in a newly built state guest house.

Each guest must be seated with care. Some VIPs have clear preferences, others require distance, and every placement contributes to the final arrangement. Balancing these often conflicting conditions is key to composing a successful evening.

A quiet, puzzle-like game with simple rules and layered decisions.
Designed for 1 to 4 players.
