Drinkin' Gets Me Thinkin'

When Liz got home we headed to the newest Mio Sushi and brought...

Brew Crafters: The Travel Card Game 2-4 players
This was the other game we picked up the day before at Cloud Cap. I had heard that it was the best of the "rabbit" games from Dice Hate Me Games. I love Isle of Trains so we had to try it, plus Liz loves beers.
In the game, you each start with 4 cards. On your turn your draw 2 cards then either play a card for it's effect and add it to your brewery (usually allowing you to earn more points per beer or get extra cards in your hand) or you can play a number of cards for there ingredients to make one of 5 different brews. You score depending on the brew and any brewery bonuses. The game ends once a player scores 21 points and all players have an even number of turns. All players score any end of game brewery bonuses and the highest score wins.
We each enjoyed playing while waiting for our food. I had the win by about 4 or 5 points. It's a much shorter game that Isle. Is it better? I don't think so, but I still like it. We might try a game that goes to 30 points, but since you can only have one of each item in your brewery it may make the game a little bland at the end.

Tally: 61/153  Bonus: 16/50
