Piwne Imperium is a board game released in 2013 for 2–3 players, 120 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Filip Głowacz and Ireneusz Huszcza and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Variable Phase Order, and Worker Placement.
In Piwne Imperium ("Beer Empire"), players run their own brewery, managing resources and raw materials, growing barley (which players can transform to light and dark malt) and hops, brewing beer to match recipes, developing equipment and production lines, and (of course) selling their products on the market by investing in advertising and gaining "Brand Points". The game includes event cards that influence the game in various ways and provide opportunities for interaction between players.
Piwne Imperium supports 2–3 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 Piwne Imperium is 120 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 Piwne Imperium 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.
Piwne Imperium has a complexity rating of 3.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
