My Bowling Alley Just Got Its First Tournament (New Food Too!)

Hey, hey! What's everyone playing lately? 😎

As some of you might have anticipated from my previous post, I had to give this game one more chance before considering it a fully experienced demo, because I did want to play everything the demo has to offer before deciding whether it's worth purchasing the full game or not.

The main point of interest in today's part of the game is also what led to the current title and thumbnail, which was hosting a tournament.

Again, I don't know much about tournaments, but as a person who has played various simulator games, it felt like a cool feature to be able to book the business for a couple of hours without being afraid of possibly not making enough money by the end of the day.

Actually, all the information is pretty much written down in the booking request you can find on the table, including the starting hour, how many lanes are needed for the tournament, as well as what is going to be the most purchased food and how much you'll earn from this single booking only.

Of course, there is also the option to decline the request if not enough lanes are available or if you feel like it's too much commitment, but from my point of view, I looked at this opportunity as an easy task because instead of seeing more clients coming one by one, having multiple food requests, or the time spent on the bowling being different from one to another, it seemed a lot easier to get more clients at once, with the same favourite food and time spent around.

Housing a tournament, though, comes with a few extra steps that need to be completed in order to make sure everything is ready to go, such as marking the lanes as being reserved so no other clients will keep them busy at the arrival of the pros, but also customising the post-celebration room, which is designed to host anniversaries, birthdays, as well as tournaments, and where everyone is gathering away from the rest of the clients.

There are a couple more things unlocked in terms of food or decorations, but overall it felt like I reached the essence of the game, and I did experience everything the demo had to offer.

If you are asking me now if it's worth the price, I'd probably say no, although I enjoyed it, but my answer is due to the limitations I felt in the demo version, as well as not keeping up with all clients that are coming at the bar, which I mentioned in my previous post.

There is also the option to hire staff members who can either handle this part for you or be the cashier and rent shoes, but for the demo version I was only able to hire one person who was handling just the renting shoes part of the game. I am aware that my conclusion might not be fully valid since there are more games which seem rather difficult on the demo version but become a cool experience once owning the game and not having limitations on what you can unlock and what not, but for now, it really felt like the demo was enough to experience what this simulator had to offer and move on to a new one.
