Description
This db spiele game can be translated to 'Hops and Malt' in English. The goal of the game is to brew the best beer using ingredients associated with the German purity law: Malt, hops, and water. There is a card deck associated with each of these 3 ingredients: a malt deck, a hops deck and a water deck. Players have a limited amount of money to purchase ingredients for their beer. Ingredients in each deck are valued from 1 (worst ingredients) to 6 (best ingredients). The decks are shuffled separately and the 3 decks are placed face down in the table. The top card of each deck is turned over. In turn, each player may buy any of the 3 ingredients with their money. This continues until all the ingredients are gone or the players run out of money. Now, players sell their beer at market. To make beer, you must have 1 hop card + 1 malt card + 1 water card. The value of the beer is the sum of the value of the cards. Contracts valued between 10 and 100 are turned over 1 at a time. Players use once around bidding with their beer to buy the best contracts. The total value of the contracts purchased determines the winning player. - BoardGameGeek
