What is Beer Mug Dice
The innkeeper of "The Wild Boar" tavern is a sly old dog! While they treat humble guests who don't ask for much to free rounds, for hard-drinking boozers they close the tap and keep the cool brew for themself.
Polterfass is a dice-rolling game without dice! Yes, the dice have been replaced by small beer barrels, and the active player each round is the innkeeper who shares their brew with players who keep their requests modest.
The game includes nine barrels — two of them being special ones — that are rolled out of a dice cup. The normal barrel bases show numbers, while the special barrel bases show symbols that allow the innkeeper to double other values or cancel them. After each roll, only the values/symbols of "standing" barrels count.
After the active player has rolled for the first time, the other players secretly place cards with numbers in front of them. The active player then decides whether to reroll, change the values, or end their turn. Once their turn ends, the guests reveal their cards and sum them. If the innkeeper's total is less than this sum, they win this round, keeping all the beer for themself while the guest with the highest card actually loses points! If the innkeeper's total is higher, each player scores the value of their played card, and the innkeeper keeps the rest.

What the community says about Beer Mug Dice
Un push your luck con faroleo muy divertido y rápido de jugar. En lugar de dados trae una especie de barriles con numeros en ambos extremos y que suman 11. Después de muchísimas partidas he de admitir que fue un acierto el comprarlo :)
de 3 a 6, dados mecanica novedosa esa d meter barriles en vez d dados. Esta muy gracioso
Nice dice push-your-luck/bluffing semi-coop game with a catchy mental meta. We feel like a bit underrated. Simple rules, some may need 2 turns to catch up with the scoring rules, but summarizing, EZ . We didn't found scoring a pain at all All together, whether as Bartender or Customer role, you have interesting strategies and it generates thrill and laughs among the players. Due to the shape of the mugs, the bast way to roll is to stomp the barrel onto the table and then uncover, like usually done in dice poker. The rulebook should tell how to roll
