Industry: Email Alert RSS Feed"Brewmaster" board game developed - Brief Article
Modern Brewery Age, Oct 29, 2001
Chris White, founder and president of White Labs Inc., has co-designed a game that is intended to capture the fun and romance of the craft beer movement. The game, published by Cold Creek Publishing Co., is being distributed to brew stores and brewery gift shops by White Labs.
In "BrewMaster: The Craft Beer Game" players combine cards to produce six beer styles including ale, stout and Belgian, using mechanics similar to gin rummy. In creating "melds" players will use some of the 90 cards representing real beer ingredients. After producing beer, players place chips (representing crowds) onto the game board. "As me game continues players try to make better beer and steal crowds from each other," co-designer Chris White says. "The player with the most beer festival trophies and crowd markers wins. The game is great for two to five players and generally takes less than an hour to play."
