Brauerei is a board game released in 1996 for 3–6 players and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Valentin Herman.
Brauerei, a game about the German beer market, has players attempting to bring their beer brands to the national markets. First though they have to master the local and regional markets, making sure everyone is supplied with beer and attempting to anticipate and evolve the public's taste in beer.
Brauerei supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Brauerei for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Brauerei has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
