Brew Crafters
Run a craft brewery, juggle your ingredients and out-brew the other owners.
Who it's for
You like medium-heavy Euro games about optimization, and a craft beer theme sounds fun to you.
Not for you if…
You want something light, quick or highly interactive. It asks for a long, thoughtful evening.
Vibe's take
Satisfying and thoughtful: you plan your turns, fit your workers into the right spots, and enjoy seeing your operation hum. Tension comes from limited markets and the race for ingredients.
About this game
You run a small craft brewery in the middle of a revitalizing city, and everyone wants the same malt, yeast, fruit and spices from the same markets. This is a worker placement game in the tradition of Agricola and Puerto Rico: you send workers to gather ingredients, build up your brewing line, bottle your beers and tune the whole operation so it runs better each round. At the heart of it sits a unique brewing process that works like a production chain you steadily optimize. It rewards planning and good use of every worker. Expect about an hour and a half and a lot of thinking.
