Description

Biergarten is designed to be a quick game for a relaxing afternoon with friends, and features 64 individually designed cards with Alpine-inspired architecture and decor.

Biergarten is essentially a tile placement game, and players compete as up-and-coming restaurant owners expanding their outdoor patios, or biergartens. Each card features either one or two colors, as well as a wall segment on one, two, or three sides of the card. Players earn points for each color match that they make, and having a match between each of the four colors earns a bonus of three points. Watch out for walls -- they block the flow of the garden, and color matches can't be made through a wall. However, if players can entirely enclose their biergarten within a continuous wall, they earn a six point bonus.

The first player to fifteen points triggers the victory round, with each player thereafter getting one additional turn to top the winning point value.
