About the game
What you do in a play session
If you love expanding your games and adding that extra pinch of novelty, Distilled's Promo Pack 1 is for you! This little pack brings 14 cards that give a new boost to your virtual distillery. Just imagine: four brand-new distillers, hailing from different corners of the world – there's someone from Russia, Germany, Algeria, and even the USA! Each with their own style and perhaps new secret recipes. To accompany this crew, there are two premium bottles, adding a touch of luxury and maybe a special bonus when bottling your drinks. It doesn't stop there! You get four fresh ingredients, like Elstar and Winesap apples, star anise, and Stobrawa potatoes, which will allow you to create more complex and unique flavors. And to top it all off, four "Tasting Journal" cards to help you catalog and evaluate your creations, adding an extra layer of strategy when deciding what to produce. Oh, and for those who like everything just right, there are also four "Distiller Signature Recipe" tiles, giving you a taste of the iconic recipes from each of these new master distillers. It's the kind of expansion that adds variety without overcomplicating the rules, keeping the soul of the base game intact.
This expansion is perfect for those who have already fallen in love with Distilled and want more variety. It introduces new characters (the distillers), ingredients, and even collectible items (the premium bottles), as well as cards that help guide your scoring strategy. The focus is on bringing more customization and diversification options to your games, without making things overly complex. If you enjoy exploring different paths to victory and managing more elements on your table, this promo pack will make you very happy. It adds nice replayability, allowing each game to feel a little different from the last, especially with the introduction of new flavors and recipes to experiment with. It's a cool upgrade for those looking to enhance the original game's experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Distilled to play with this promo pack?
Absolutely! This is a promotional pack that adds content to the base game Distilled, so you need the base game to use these cards and components.
How many players does this expansion support?
The number of players doesn't change with this expansion. It adds more options for the 1 to 5 player games that already exist in the base game.
What exactly comes in this pack?
It includes 14 cards in total: 4 distiller cards from different countries, 2 premium bottle cards, 4 ingredient cards, and 4 "Tasting Journal" cards. Additionally, there are 4 exclusive distiller recipe tiles.
Does the game complexity increase significantly with these cards?
Not much. The idea is to add variety and new strategies without overloading the rules. It's more about having more options than learning entirely new mechanics.
Do the cards come translated into English?
Generally, promo packs from crowdfunding campaigns come in their original language. You might need to look for fan-made translations or print your own for comfortable play.
Is it worth it for someone who doesn't play Distilled very often?
If you like the game and want to 'level up' with more variety, yes! But if you rarely play the base game, it might be better to focus on mastering the main game first.
