Haunted Space Hotel: Manager

Welcome to the Factional Omniarchy of Snohe — a galaxy where six rival AI Hoteliers compete for control of the most haunted real estate in the cosmos. Scientists need labs. Vanguards need permits. Bar Patrons need a place to sit. Ghosts need... handling. The galaxy needs a hotelier with vision. That hotelier is you.

In Haunted Space Hotel: Manager, 2–6 players each take the seat of an AI Hotelier from one of six rival factions: DEEP, STEM, HEX, DREAD, HONORED, and SEED. Each faction has a signature strength and a signature weakness — opposites on the central Action Hex, governed by the Rule of 6.

Every turn, you pick Focus (one action, twice) or Diversify (two adjacent actions, once each) on the Action Hex. Six action types — Research, Lodging, Staff, Renovation, Advertisement, Ghost — give you six different paths to building a hotel that scores. Lodge faction guests. Banish the ghosts your competitors send your way. Staff your rooms. Stock the right amenities. Hoard Snohe: the galaxy's treasured currency, and your ticket to victory.

The first AI Hotelier to 24 Snohe achieves Singularity and wins. If the Guest Deck runs out first, the leader at that moment claims a different victory: Time's Up. Watch the deck like a clock.

Behind every uncertain outcome is the custom Fate Die, which drives ghost waves, lodging complications, and unexpected events. Your staff can Clock Out to bend the die — defensively for yourself, or offensively against rivals. Climbing past 10 Snohe puts you under doubled Fate rolls. Lead carefully.
