Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit is an expansion for Dice Brewing released in 2015 for 2–4 players, 45–90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Filip Głowacz and Ireneusz Huszcza and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.
If you have first edition of Dice Brewing and you don't want to buy second edition of this game, but still you are interested in changes and new components, we have a special set of elements for you. We have decided to prepare a Dice Brewing: Upgrade kit, where you can find 4 new player boards (bigger ones and with new rule about getting the blue die) and 3 sets of tokens. All new materials are high quality, well made (with exacly the same materials as basic, second edition of Dice Brewing) and of course they are an effect of players comments for the first edition of Dice Brewing.
Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit supports 2–4 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 listed playing time for Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit is 45–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit for ages 12 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.
Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit has a complexity rating of 2.0 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.

The credited designers of Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit are: Filip Głowacz and Ireneusz Huszcza.

The catalogue lists Dice Brewing: Upgrade Kit as an expansion for Dice Brewing. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Dice Brewing to use it. Check that your edition of Dice Brewing is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
