Round End

The five steps of the Beer Pioneers round end: brewing process, retrieving pieces and the new turn order, worker upgrades with the cellar tile bonuses, hand limit and display, income.

When nobody can act any more, play these steps in order. If someone reached 20 Victory point this round, the final scoring follows.

Step 1: Brewing process

Every dial on your board turns one step — compulsory. A dial reaching 0 puts its beer tile in the cellar (Finished beer). With the Laboratory each dial may then turn a second step, if you like.

Step 2: Retrieve pieces and turn order

Take back your tagged workers, truck and the bonus workers on the bonus board (never those sacrificed on objectives or the round end board). Return the neutral worker and truck to their spaces.

The untagged workers in the turn order area move up to the turn order track: the leftmost goes to space 1, the next to space 2, and so on; move the barrels to match. Reset your administrative worker to its starting space.

Step 3: Worker upgrade

Whoever put their upgrade marker here retires one tagged worker and takes one with one more experience from the supply (1 → 2, 2 → 3, 3 → 4); take your marker back. The new worker works from the next round.

The retired worker goes on a retirement space of your brewery board matching its experience; remove the cellar tile next to it — 1 to 3 more cellar spaces — and take that tile’s bonus.
