About The Belgian Beers Race

Have a crazy race through Belgium and its breweries. Visit as many breweries as you can, buy their beers, and drink (with moderation) throughout a 3-days competition. Optimise your trips across the country: travel by bike, by public transports or hitchhiking. Meet your opponents and drink with them, but watch your blood alcohol level: hangovers and other obstacles await you. Ready to start? Go on your own Belgian beers race but do not forget: at the end of the 3 days, be back at the Brussels Grand Place to celebrate and declare the winner! Alcohol abuse is harmful to your health, drink it with moderation. You play the participant of a race through Belgium. Your goal is to visit as many breweries as possible (the points on the map), enjoy their beers, buy them, and return to the Grand Place in Brussels on time. Your different actions will earn you Victory Points (VP) and the one with the most accumulated wins. Goals will come to punctuate the game, 4 are accessible to the turn of each player, 4 others are predictable. Levels 1 will be things to do: visit a brewery in particular, enjoy a beer of a certain type, do a determined action, … Levels 2 will be conditions to fulfill: to have beers of the 4 types in the backpack, to have visited a certain number of breweries, to have collected some bottles, … The levels 3 are when the whole game has been available for all the players and must be filled at the end of the game to win the points: arrive sober, arrive at the backpack filled, … It is imperative to arrive on the Grand Place of Brussels at the end of the game … any delay will be heavily penalized by negative points in proportion to the accumulated delay. —description from the publisher
