About the game
Grab your mug, because Stier zoekt Bier (Bull wants Beer) is here to shake up your game night! Imagine you're running a pub and a crowd of extremely picky bulls decides to drop by. And we're not talking about just any bulls; we've got characters like Zeca Pilsen and Canabrava Red who won't settle for anything less than their favorite brew. Your mission is to manage your beer stock to satisfy these thirsty bovine customers without wasting a single drop.

The gameplay is a tasty blend of bidding and hand management. Each round, players compete to decide which bulls will visit the pub. To win these auctions, you'll need to 'pour' your beer cards, but here's the catch: to win a bid, you must offer cards of the same type. This creates a brilliant dilemma: do you blow your best beer now to secure a customer, or save it for a potentially bigger score later?

The flow is snappy and engaging. You collect beer cards, pass the leftovers to your neighbor, and build up your personal cellar. The goal is to serve the exact combination the bull is craving. Hit the mark, and the points roll in! However, watch your pours—serving too much beer results in waste, and if the bulls overindulge, things might get a bit messy. It's a fast-paced card game with just the right amount of tactical tension to keep everyone on their toes. Perfect for players looking for a light, fun experience that still rewards smart decision-making and careful planning. It's a party in a box, with a side of strategic thinking!
