BREW - A Brilliant or Brutal Dice Game? | Board Game Review

Brew is a dice placement area control board game where players take on the role of forest mystics as they forage for resources from the enchanted forest with the aim of brewing potions and taming the land!

Please consider becoming a Board Game Sanctuarian and supporting us on Patreon and liking us on Facebook!

As a mystic players will be placing forage dice on forest cards from round to round by matching certain symbols that have been rolled. Players will then gather ingredients listed on the forest spaces. Players can also palce their rolled dice on the main village board which provides players with other effects and actions such as previewing and reserving potions.

Players are ultimately using their ingredients to buy potions from the shop and brew them. Potions provides players with one time effects that helps to affect and manipulate the presence of different players dice on the forest cards. The player who has the most forage dice of their colour on a forest card gets to claim it at the end of the round earning them vital end game victory points.

Training an animal can also help players give them extra specific dice actions attuned to the playstyle they wish to express.

Overall Brew is a really fun dice game with a a unique theme that is surely a great fit for the family game night!

I love the dice and the amount of player interaction. The game looks great and the ability to train creatures is really appealing. Enjoyed the review and the opening skit!!

Heroes of barcadia on kickstarter is also about to end, a game where your life and your character are respectively beer (or any other drink) and a transparent glass of glass or plastic that marks life, I highly recommend it

I have Azul and Patchwork but brutal games can also be fun!

Aside from Brew what other games can be devastating for the loser? Ghost Stories, imhotep , Arboretum?

Any recommendation for my next game purchase? I was thinking among: The Crew - Deep Dive, Pandemic Legacy Season 01, Cosmic Frog, Santorini, Arboretum?

BTW, for some games (Ticket to Ride, Photosynthesis, Wingspan, Gloomhaven, Blood Rage) I like using the PC!

I am thinking whether to buy this or Machi Koro 2 since they are same price, thanks for the video..

Don't get this game, if you don't like Take That mechanics.

I tried this game last weekend and wanted to murder the other players.
