Description

Microbrew is a fun and dynamic game for two players where you lead a brewing team to create the tastiest beers and win loyal customers. The game is a unique hybrid of worker placement and puzzle elements, where players take turns sending brewers to work stations to mash, brew, bottle, and serve their own beer recipes. The twist is that work stations aren't locked out, allowing players to push each other out and reuse their workers in the same turn, making each round highly dynamic and requiring careful thought. In Microbrew, players must optimize their team's actions while predicting their opponent's moves, all while trying to complete the perfect beer recipe in their "Copper" brewing kettle. With its simple yet fiendish puzzle game, players can choose to make each customer's perfect beer or flood the market with average brews and rely on marketing. This engaging game, published in 2017, offers a fun and challenging experience that's easy to learn for fans of board games.
