Description

Get ready to tap into the fun of Oktoberfest, a game where 3 to 5 players compete to control the beer flow at the iconic festival. In this 90-minute game, you'll bid to decide where patrons go and how much they drink, all while trying to collect the right types of beer barrels. With a mix of auctioning, commodity speculation, and territory building, Oktoberfest is a game of strategy and skill that's easy to learn but challenging to master. As you place cards in the various tents, you'll need to balance your beer collection with the need to close tents and score points. But watch out for the unexpected evacuation card that can wipe out entire tents and change the game in an instant. With its unique blend of mechanics and themes, Oktoberfest is a game that's sure to delight fans of economic and territory-building games, and its normal complexity level makes it accessible to anyone familiar with board games.
