Beverage (2024)

About this game

Worker placement with a bidding element. Players take on the role of a CEO in a beverage company. You, along with your rivals have agreed to help fund the creation of a new stadium in your city. However, only the company with the highest reputation will be allowed to sell their drinks inside. A round starts with bidding for how much money you will get to use in a round. This money is then used to pay for actions around the board. Once the local stadium is complete, the game will end. A cutthroat game from Japan; Beverage combines the nostalgic with the modern.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
