About the game
Dwarven Beerfest is a push your luck dice and card game where each player is a Dwarf looking to drink everyone else under the table. Each round the players place their orders and play sneaky tricks with Action cards before the drinking dice are rolled to see who has successfully quaffed and who has failed and become drunk, or worse unconscious! Players keep their successfully quaffed drinks to score their reputation at the end of the night! —description from the publisher

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 Dwarven Beerfest is 30–45 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 Dwarven Beerfest 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.
Dwarven Beerfest has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
