Product Information
Homebrewers is an exciting engine - building and dice - trading game. Your dice are like keys to various actions. You can buy ingredients, join monthly events, add unique flavors to your beer recipes, and, of course, brew delicious beer! The game spans eight months (or eight rounds). Each month, you'll have a weekend for trading with the homebrewing club and other weekends for taking actions. You get to create your own special beer recipes in four types: Ale, Porter, Stout, and IPA. Every time you brew a specific recipe, its quality level goes up. You can gain reputation in two main ways. First, improve the quality of the four beer categories to win medals at Summerfest and Octoberfest. Second, craft your recipes to match the tastes of judges at Octoberfest. At the end of eight months, the one with the most reputation as the club's best brewer wins!
To play Homebrewers, start by understanding that your dice represent actions. Roll the dice and use them to buy ingredients, join events, add flavors, and brew beer. Each month, set aside one weekend for trading with the homebrewing club and use the other weekends for taking actions. When creating your beer recipes in the four categories (Ale, Porter, Stout, and IPA), keep brewing the same recipe to increase its quality. Try to improve the quality of your beers to win medals at festivals and match the judges' tastes at Octoberfest to gain reputation. There aren't many special maintenance requirements as it's a game, but keep your game components like dice and cards in a dry and safe place. And remember, have fun and aim to be the best brewer at the end of the eight - month game!
