This is the Kickstarter Edition of the Biergarten Board Game, including all stretch goals. It comes with the core game and all stretch goals, but note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Biergarten is a fast - paced board game perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends. It features 64 uniquely designed cards with Alpine - themed architecture and decor. It's a tile placement game where players act as emerging restaurant owners expanding their outdoor biergartens. Each card has one or two colors and wall segments on one, two, or three sides. You earn points for color matches, and getting a match of all four colors gives you a 3 - point bonus. Watch out for walls as they block color matches. But if you can enclose your biergarten with a continuous wall, you get a 6 - point bonus. The first player to reach 15 points starts the victory round, and then each player gets one more turn to beat the leading score.

How to play: First, set up the game with all the cards in the core game and stretch goals. Each player starts as a restaurant owner. Take turns placing the cards to expand your biergarten. Try to match the colors on the cards to earn points. If you can match all four colors, you'll get a 3 - point bonus. Also, keep an eye on the walls on the cards. Walls block color matches, but if you can enclose your biergarten with a continuous wall, you'll get a 6 - point bonus. The first player to reach 15 points starts the victory round, and then everyone gets one more turn to score higher. Note: The paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent them from warping or getting damaged. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
