Beers Of Ballard Board Game

Welcome to Ballard! This popular neighborhood in Seattle, WA, is known for its bustling brewery district and Nordic roots. Inspired by the sights, sounds, and kegs of Ballard, Beers of Ballard is a brewery-hopping board game for 3 - 4 players (yet no real beer consumption is necessary).

To play, you’ll choose from four beer connoisseurs, each based on a local character brought to life by local artist Sam Trevino. The game consists of twelve rounds and takes about 30 minutes to play. Gameplay mimics real life as players strategize visiting breweries based on beer supply, special events, new beer releases, and of course, necessary stops at the food truck! Each round, event and supply cards are drawn to determine beer supply and events occurring across the six breweries. Players then secretly decide which brewery they will visit each round; then, all players reveal their chosen destination simultaneously. Players collect the beer at the selected brewery and must share pints between all customers if multiple players choose the same brewery. At the end of the game, the player who accumulates the most beer wins!

Beers of Ballard is simple to learn and fun to master. It’s perfect for enjoying with a pint of one’s choice, whether at home with a growler or at your own neighborhood brewery. The artwork brings Ballard’s landmarks and local haunts to life, whether you’re a longtime resident or visiting beer enthusiast.
