Distilled – Kickstarter Signature Blend Pledge Includes:
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.

Played a physical prototype copy. Will be backing the KS for sure, eager to play the final version and refine my rating. Love the theme, love the card mechanic (strategy and a dash of luck) and the ART. OMG the ART.

Great theme and many ways to win. A little bit of luck involved with distilling but that can be mitigated and doesn't ruin the game

Played 4-player on TTS. Rules as written leave a lot to be desired: there's a lot of fiddliness and randomness in the name of theme that just gets in the way of the game. There's not great ways to diversify your actions so it just feels like you're doing the same thing round after round. Point spread ended up almost equal at the end. We almost stopped a round early because no one was having fun (that has happened at most a couple of times over hundreds of games). TL;DR: It's not a bad game, it's just nowhere near a good game and feels like it needed more development time.
