Description from the publisher:

In Beer Empire, you become the owner of a brewery who strives for market share by skillfully matching recipe ingredients. At the same time, you aspire to brew beer that's the best of the festival — but these two elements do not always go hand in hand.

That’s why players have to examine what the market expects from their beer, which styles are in current trend, and what festival critics like. As if that was not enough, the world in which we brew beer is alive! Shifts on the beer market change trends and critics taste. The market set-up is unique each time, so you need to manage your resources wisely and follow carefully the market and other players' actions.

Beer Empire is mainly based on a set-collection mechanism as players compose recipes using a variety of ingredients (resource tiles) like light and dark malts, hops, fermentation type (open or closed) and type of container (bottle, can, barrel or keg). Each of these components may add different effects and influence on quality of beer.

Increase/decrease beer attributes (aroma, color, taste)
Produce more or less bottle caps (market share)
Add extra points




What ingredients we’d use, thereby what effects in our beer we’d get influence all game areas:

Market (area control), represents what consumers expect from beer. Some prefer aromatic beer, some prefer to drink from bottles, other ones favor specific style (India Pale Ale, Bock, Pilsner). Players brew beer that meets several tastes thereby achieve points from different markets at the same time!
Beer Festival(bidding & combo): Here matters especially aroma, color, taste. These characteristics are assessed by the critic. He assign festival points and it’s worth effort because only at the festival you can win rare brewing passion tiles!
Trends: In Beer Empire world there are few main beer trends (Pilsner, Bock, India Pale Ale, Lager and ALE). Brewing beer compatible to the trend gives you experience tile that opens new great possibilities for brewing!




What is most important, it is up to you and your abilities of smart resource management (tile placement & worker placement) and right recipes composing, which direction you’ll go. Would you accomplish goals in all fields or you’d focus just on chosen elements?
What we want to underline is that each of these elements influence on each other making every play one of a kind.

It seems it’s gonna be a really hard work to build your Beer Empire.

Brew Crafters
Brew Crafters: The Travel Card Game


Dice Brewing is a dice-building game in which you manage resources and brew beer to become the beer master.
The players become brewers whose goal is to acquire the resources needed to brew many new beer recipes and then gaining the rewards that come with brewing them - gold and mastery points. To do so, each player uses their player board and two location cards (marketplace and black market) to develop their resource pool and stock their storage with certain tokens that alter the course of the game. The player who has the most mastery points at the end, wins the game.
Players will have to prove themselves by brewing various styles of beer, acquiring specific malts and hops, as well as enhancing the recipes with ingredients that will make your beers stand out. But that's not all... The Apprentices will be able to compete with each other directly, making their lives harder by using some unrefined methods!

Players manage their resources by way of 6-sided dice in 4 different colors:

  • Light malt: yellow dice
  • Dark malt: black dice
  • Hops: green dice
  • Skill: blue dice, which allow for additional effects on recipe cards and resource dice.

Players can influence the luck of the dice through a variety of cards that allow them to replace the dice, increase the value rolled, receive extra dice, buy special ingredient tokens, and buy action tokens - which can affect opponents or provide additional dice manipulation.

When a player collects the correct number of dice with the proper value, he can brew one of the available recipes and gain points, gold, or another effect. Players can also enhance recipes by throwing in additional ingredients to earn a bonus (more gold, more points).
