Objective of the Game

Distilled: Africa & Middle East is an expansion that brings the flavors of the region to your table, introducing new distiller identities with signature recipes, ingredients, and more. The game is about distilling spirits, and with this expansion, you can now collect and display more bottles. If you have at least one bottle from 4 different regions displayed in your bottle collection, you score 8 SP. If you achieve this, you do not also score the bonus for displaying bottles from 3 different regions.

Actions and How to Play

New Mechanics

• Double Sugars: Ingredients with two sugar icons count as 2 sugars and therefore produce 2 Alcohol when used to distill. Add one Alcohol card for each sugar icon in your washback. Note: The Distillery Manager specialist effect changes both sugar icons to the new sugar type, not just one icon.
• Wild Sugars: The new premium ingredient Glucose Syrup can meet any one sugar requirement. It can be grain, plant, or fruit—player’s choice.

Tasting Flights

There are six new tasting flights to choose from:

• Tasting Flight I: Balanced Play (Pairs with: South Africa, Lebanon, Canada, USA, India, Japan, Ghana, UAE, Peru, Mexico, Korea)
• Tasting Flight J: Balanced Play (Pairs with: South Africa, Cape Verde, Scotland, Ireland, India, China, Tunisia, UAE, Sweden, France, Philippines)
• Tasting Flight K: Balanced Play (Pairs with: South Africa, Lebanon, Canada, USA, Scotland, Ireland, Tunisia, UAE, Jamaica, Brazil, Sweden, Italy)
• Tasting Flight L: Africa & Middle East Spirits (Pairs with: South Africa, Lebanon, Cape Verde, Canada, USA, India, Ghana, Tunisia, UAE, Mexico, Korea)
• Tasting Flight M: Non-Aged Spirits (Pairs with: South Africa, UAE, Scotland, Ireland, India, Australia, Ghana, Tunisia, Sweden, England, Philippines, Korea)
• Tasting Flight N: Aged Spirits (Pairs with: South Africa, Cape Verde, Scotland, Ireland, India, China, UAE, Lebanon, Italy, France, Japan)

The first three flights (I, J, and K) are the most balanced and are recommended for use in most games. The rest focus on a specific region or spirit type and are intended for experienced players who wish to mix up their game play.

End of Game and Scoring

If you have at least one bottle from 4 different regions displayed in your bottle collection, you score 8 SP. If you achieve this, you do not also score the bonus for displaying bottles from 3 different regions. Because of the bottle collection scoring, you can use bottle-specific goals and awards and region-specific bottles even when playing with a tasting flight that doesn’t include that region.

Tips for Winning

• For your first game with the expansion, we suggest using Tasting Flight I and its paired distiller identities shown in the Tasting Flight section on page 6 of this booklet.
• If you ever draw an award or goal that involves a region not represented in the tasting flight used, discard it and draw again.
