About the game
Embark on a wild, unforgettable race across Belgium, where breweries are your checkpoints and beer is your fuel! For three exhilarating days, you’ll crisscross the country, visiting as many breweries as you can. The goal? Savor their finest brews, collect bottles, and chart your way to victory—all while keeping your wits about you. But beware! Every beer you enjoy brings you closer to a dreaded hangover, and obstacles will spring up along your journey. Can you stay balanced as the competition heats up? As you pedal through scenic villages, hitchhike down winding roads, or hop on public transport, you'll meet your fellow racers, share a drink or two, and perhaps even strategize—if your blood alcohol level doesn’t betray you. With every pint and brewery visit, you’re racking up Victory Points, but don’t lose sight of the finish line: you must return to Brussels’ Grand Place on time to claim your win. Throughout the race, goals will pop up like challenges on your beer-fueled adventure. Some are immediate: visit a legendary brewery, sip on a rare beer, or complete a daring task. Others require careful planning — such as collecting a bottle from each brewery type or stocking up on every variety of beer. And at the end, the ultimate test awaits: arrive sober, backpack filled, and on time, or face the harsh penalties of delayed arrival. To win, you must plan your route with shared and secret goals in mind. Choose appropriate transportation to avoid pollution. Drink in moderation, don’t become intoxicated ! Your competitors set the pace ! The real final sprint begins as soon as a player has reached three common goals (black, yellow, red) and a player enters the Grand Place ! Return to the capital as soon as possible to get on the podium with the most Victory Points.
