Brew Crafters

It's a time of regrowth in the old urban center, and the hippest and best beer crafters have gathered both hops and hopes in building the best brewery in the city. It won't be an easy task, as players compete for precious resources such as malt, yeast, fruit and spices in the local markets, all while managing and optimizing their growing bottling empires.

About the game

What is Brew Crafters

In Brew Crafters, players assume management of a local craft brewery, working hard to manage resources, use their workers wisely, and develop their brewing line to create the best local brews. Brew Crafters honors the tradition of classic Eurogames such as Agricola and Puerto Rico, but at its heart beats a unique brewery processing system that must be constantly improved, monitored, and manned in order to keep the beloved beverages rolling off the line. Each brewery has access to a variety of equipment upgrades, local farms, markets, and a plethora of specialty workers, ensuring a high level of replayability and strategic avenues. In addition, each player is studiously working to be first to develop several rotating gold-label specialty recipes that will earn them extra points and prestige at the end of year three when the best local brewer will be honored.

Decano8.5/10

Cada vez que lo juego me gusta más. Un juego que trasmite similares sensaciones al Agrícola, pero con un tema que me atrae mucho más. Juego muy temático al que sólo le pongo un “pero: el final es un poco “coitus interruptus”. Cuando tu factoría empieza a rendir a lo grande... el juego acaba. Yo quizás le hubiese añadido un año más. Pero vamos... una pasada de juego!
