Brew

About this board game

Brew is a strategy board game for 2–4 players with a playing time of about 90 minutes. Set in an enchanted forest where time has shattered, it challenges players to restore balance to a land ruled by chaos.

The seasons exist simultaneously, while day and night no longer follow a natural cycle. Instead, they rotate according to the whims of the forest, leaving the woodland mystics with the task of reclaiming control.

Each turn, players must decide how best to use their element dice. These choices support two distinct paths to influence:

• Take control of as many seasons as possible in an area-control game.
• Visit the local village to procure useful goods in a worker-placement game.

The dice are only part of the mystics’ toolkit. Players can recruit extraordinary woodland creatures and brew magical potions, using them to offset chance die-rolls or develop an engine that helps tame the lands.

With its combination of area control, worker placement, dice decisions, creature recruitment, and potion brewing, Brew presents a flexible challenge in a world where the usual order of nature has broken down. Every choice contributes to the effort to bring the forest’s seasons and cycles back into balance.
