The other table of three were trying the brand new worker placement game, Brew Crafters. This is a game about managing a small scale brewery, where you gain ingredients and workers and then use these to make beer, improve your brewery or research to improve your abilities. You have to choose between brewing lots of basic beer or going for more complex brews that take longer to organise. From the score sheet, it looks like Mark G was brewing as much as he could at the expense of the end game research bonuses, which is where Nige had the upper hand. However, Mark K looks like he was the only one to benefit from abilities(?) and Nige also suffered from having taken a couple of loans, which meant that Mark K was the champion brewer. |
