Wisconsin Life | How a distillery tour inspired a hit board game

PBS Wisconsin

Watch “Wisconsin Life | How a distillery tour inspired a hit board game,” a board game interview for Distilled from PBS Wisconsin on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by PBS Wisconsin on YouTube:

Dave Beck, a video game design professor at University of Wisconsin-Stout, discovered board games after receiving one as a gift from his wife. While touring Scottish distilleries, inspiration struck for "Distilled," a whiskey-themed board game. The project raised over $500,000 through Kickstarter. Now, Beck is developing a second game about orchestral instruments.

About Distilled, from BoardGameGeek:

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. 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 spirit points at the end of the game. Points are obtained by distilling and selling spirits. -description from the designer
