Card Anatomy
Each card in this set uses the same layout as the base game's action cards (see "Anatomy of the Action Cards" in the Bier Pioniere rulebook):
- Upper green area (beige-brown section): icons in four columns, from left to right: lightbulbs, new barrels, barrels to move (with a downward arrow), and rotations. A lightning-bolt icon marks an immediate effect printed below the upper row.
- Purple area (purple section): a beer delivery order. The left side lists the beer tiles and barrels to deliver (a barrel icon with a minus sign is a number of barrels to deliver). A colon separates the requirement from the reward on the right. Where a line divides the purple area, the item below the line is a bonus that applies only if the Fuhrpark icon (the truck fleet extension, named "Truck fleet" in the base rulebook) has been built.
- Lower white text box (white section): a one-time action, played as a white card and then discarded.
Icon Readings Used in This Set
- Beer tile labelled "Bier": any type of beer (the base rulebook: "If only the word BEER is mentioned, any type can be delivered").
- Named beer tiles (Pils, Weizen, Export, Stark): that beer type.
- Barrel with a number: barrels (base rulebook: "Take X barrels").
- Barrel with a minus sign: barrels to deliver.
- Barrel with a downward arrow: move barrels to the cellar (base rulebook: "Move X barrels ↓").
- Coin: coins.
- Star with a number: victory points.
- Green card with a number: cards.
- Lightbulb: lightbulb icon (base rulebook: lightbulbs enable improved bonus actions and count for final scoring).
- Circular arrow with a number: rotations (base rulebook: "Apply X rotations").
- Lightning bolt: the immediate-effect (flash) icon (base rulebook).
- Cube with a green arrow: the cube moved one step along the brewery progress track (base rulebook, action 1.3). Reading.
- Brown rounded frame with a blank extension tile: a brewery extension tile (base rulebook, "Extension Tiles"). The frame is shown empty on the card, so the card does not name a specific extension.
August Oetker
Card art: portrait of August Oetker, with the name plate "August Oetker" in the grey panel. The upper green area is blank.
Printed text (German, verbatim):
Wähle bis zu 2 ≠: [triangle with exclamation mark] / -2 [coin] : [brown extension tile, blank] / -1 [coin] : [cube with green arrow]
English translation:
Choose up to 2 different: [triangle with exclamation mark] / Pay 2 coins : [brewery extension tile] / Pay 1 coin : [cube with green arrow]
Purple area (printed icons):
Bier, Bier, Bier, [barrel: -3] : [hand holding a face-down card], [star: 5]
English reading of the purple area: Deliver 3 beer tiles of any type and 3 barrels. Reward: 1 card from the draw pile and 5 victory points.
Notes
- "Wähle bis zu 2 ≠" means "choose up to 2" options. The "≠" symbol is printed on the card as the "different" sign, so the two choices must be different from each other. The player may pick at most two of the three options and may not pick the same option twice.
- The three options are separated by slashes. The first option has no cost; the second costs 2 coins; the third costs 1 coin.
- The extension tile in the second option is shown blank. The card does not name which extension it builds.
Freitrunk
Card art: a building illustration in the grey panel, labelled "Freitrunk".
Printed text (German, verbatim):
Zahle [green card: 3] um [brown extension tile, blank] zu bauen.
English translation:
Pay [3 cards] to build [brewery extension tile].
Purple area (printed icons):
Pils, Weizen, [barrel: -2] : [star: 5], [green card: 1]
English reading of the purple area: Deliver 1 Pils, 1 Weizen and 2 barrels. Reward: 5 victory points and 1 card.
Notes
- The building's name "Freitrunk" is printed on the card in the grey label under the illustration.
- The extension tile in the cost line is shown blank, as on the August Oetker card. The card does not name the extension it builds.
- The upper green area is blank on this card.
Funny Leicht
Card art: portrait of Funny Leicht, with the name plate "Funny Leicht" in the grey panel.
Printed text (German, verbatim):
Ziehe [green card: 2] vom Stapel und [green card: 1] von jedem Mitspieler. Behalte [green card: 2] und gib jedem Mitspieler [green card: 1].
English translation:
Draw [2 cards] from the draw pile and [1 card] from each other player. Keep [2 cards] and give each other player [1 card].
Purple area (printed icons):
Weizen, [barrel: -1] : [coin: 1], [star: 2] [Fuhrpark] : [star: 1]
English reading of the purple area: Deliver 1 Weizen and 1 barrel. Reward: 1 coin and 2 victory points. Bonus if the truck fleet (Fuhrpark) is built: 1 victory point.
Notes
- "Stapel" is the German for the draw pile. The base rulebook calls it the "face down draw pile".
- "Mitspieler" is rendered as "other player" in the English, since the instruction is directed at the players other than the one who plays the card.
Leopold Nathan
Card art: portrait of Leopold Nathan, with the name plate "Leopold Nathan" in the grey panel.
Printed text (German, verbatim):
Führe 1 Mal [worker with up arrow, in brown frame] oder 1 Mal [cube with green arrow] aus.
English translation:
Perform 1 time [worker upgrade] or 1 time [cube moved one step along the progress track].
Purple area (printed icons):
Pils, Export, [barrel: -2] : [star: 5], [coin: 1]
English reading of the purple area: Deliver 1 Pils, 1 Export and 2 barrels. Reward: 5 victory points and 1 coin.
Notes
- The two actions are separated by "oder" ("or"). The first icon sits in a brown frame, the same frame used for the extension-tile icons, so the frame marks the printed options rather than a cost.
- The worker-upgrade and cube readings are the transcriber's, as set out in the icon list above. The base rulebook does not print these glyphs.
Schankraum
Card art: a photograph-style illustration of barrels on a bar counter, labelled "Schankraum" in the grey panel. The purple area is blank.
Upper green area (printed icons):
[lightbulb: 1] . [barrel with downward arrow: 1] . [circular arrow: 1]
English reading of the upper area: 1 lightbulb. Move 1 barrel to the cellar. Apply 1 rotation. (The first column is the lightbulb count, the third the barrels to move, and the fourth the rotations, as in the base rulebook.)
Printed text (German, verbatim):
Erhalte von jedem Mitspieler [coin: 1]. Kann ein Mitspieler nicht bezahlen, nimm [barrel: 1].
English translation:
Receive [1 coin] from each other player. If a player cannot pay, take [1 barrel].
Notes
- The text box is the white section of the card, so this is a one-time action, played as a white card.
- The German does not say where the barrel is taken from; the English keeps it unstated as printed.
Th. Ganzenmueller
Card art: portrait of Th. Ganzenmueller, with the name plate "Th. Ganzenmueller" in the grey panel.
This card has no printed text. Its lower white text box is blank. All of its rules are shown as icons, transcribed below as printed, with each reading given in English.
Upper green area (printed icons):
[barrel: 1] (top centre) [circular arrow: 1] (top right) [lightning bolt] : [barrel: 1] (left, below the upper row)
English reading of the upper area:
- Take 1 barrel (the barrel in the second column).
- Apply 1 rotation (the rotation icon in the fourth column).
- Immediate effect (lightning bolt): take 1 barrel.
Purple area (printed icons):
[Stark] [Stark], [barrel: -2] : [star: 2], [green card: 1] [Fuhrpark] : [Bier]
English reading of the purple area: Deliver 2 Stark beer tiles and 2 barrels. Reward: 2 victory points and 1 card. Bonus if the truck fleet (Fuhrpark) is built: 1 beer tile labelled "Bier".
Notes
- The card has no printed rules text. The English readings above are the transcriber's reading of the icons.
- The "Bier" bonus is read as one beer tile of any type, following the base rulebook's convention for the word BEER. The base rulebook does not describe a truck-fleet reward of this kind, so this is a disclosed reading, not a confirmed rule.
- The two "Stark" tiles are shown as two separate tiles, which is how the card prints them.
