distilled
Distilled is a highly thematic strategy card game about crafting spirits in a distillery, with resource management and push-your-luck elements. In the game, you have inherited a distillery and are hoping to someday achieve the title of master distiller through purchasing goods, building up your distillery, and creating the world's most renowned spirits.
Use cards to purchase new ingredients and invest in upgrades to your distillery, all while eventually distilling the spirit and sending it to the warehouse. Once in the warehouse, age your spirit to enhance its flavor and bottle it to sell it for major profits!
Achieve the title of Master Distiller by having the most victory points at the end of the game. Points are obtained by distilling and selling spirits.

Differences Between Physical and BGA
Please be aware that there are a few meaningful differences between a physical copy of Distilled and the BGA implementation:
- On BGA, the distill phase is taken in player order. This is to facilitate the flow of the game, especially in asynchronous play. Each player distills their spirit and claims their label in player order starting with the first player token.
- On BGA, the Drone Camera is not part of the Distillery Upgrade deck.
- On BGA, the choice of flavor cards for Doig Ventilator is automated to pick the most valuable flavor.
Overview
Create, age, and sell Spirits in order to be the best distiller over 7 rounds
Phases
The rounds are broken up into 4 Phases
Market
Distill
Sell
Age
Market
In clockwise order, each player either makes a purchase or passes
Passing takes you out of the Market phase until all other players have passed, which ends the phase
You can purchase as much as you wish over this phase, but can only purchase a maximum of 2 basic items in each Market Phase. Purchases you can make are distillery upgrades, premium ingredients, premium items like bottles or barrels and recipes.
Your Recipe List shows you what grade a recipe is and thus how much it costs to purchase
Distill
In clockwise order, starting with the first player, select ingredients to put into your washback.
You may exchange an ingredient or premium item for a basic ingredient of equal or lower value once
All ingredients not being used are put in your Pantry
Make sure to play at least one Yeast, one Water, and one Sugar card otherwise you cannot distill
Add one Alcohol card for each Sugar card played
Shuffle all the cards together, the uppermost and lowest card are returned to the Pantry
The remaining cards are revealed and see if they match a Known Recipe
Vodka requires any sugar and Moonshine requires no sugar, so these are always available, but you are trying to aim for the better recipes if you can
Select the spirit you would like to make and claim a label for it if it is available.
Sell
If a Recipe you just distilled has the egg timer symbol, it cannot be sold in the same round
Alternatively, if a Recipe you just distilled has the red blocked egg timer symbol, it MUST be sold this round
Similar to the Market phase, this is done in turn order with each player making one sale per turn until everyone has passed
Check the cards relating to the Spirit you wish to sell and the total value is the money you will receive for the sale
If there are any SP icons on this, these are victory points you will also gain
Place the label on your bonus board and gain the bonus immediately
If you used the starting Metal Barrel or Glass Bottle, return this to your storeroom for later use
Place Premium Bottles in your display for end game points
Basic cards, Alcohol cards, Premium Ingredients, Flavor Cards, Signature Ingredients, and Premium barrels are all discarded
Selling an greater Aged Spirit will gain more points than a lesser aged spirit, but will still gain the same money
Age
Age all Spirits in your warehouse one step
If this is the last round, warehouse Spirits will still age, but cannot be sold, however there are still points for retained Spirits in warehouse
Round End
After Aging, check the Awards, if you achieve one gain the points and make it inactive
If multiple players gain the same Award, split the points evenly and make it inactive
If you made no sales this round, you can exchange up to 4 points into the same amount of money, but cannot transfer points you don't have
If this is round 3, discard one of your personal goals
Then change the starting player clockwise
Game End
The game ends at the end of the 7th round
Gain points for Spirits in your warehouse with a few changes, no flavor bonus, no label bonus, no bottle, no money
Gain points for displayed bottles of the same region and/or if you have 3 or more regions represented
Gain points from distillery upgrades if applicable
Gain points from personal goals you have achieved
Gain 1 point per 5 money remaining
The player with the most points, wins!
If tied, the player with the most money, wins!
