Players are one of four people living in "Buddlbrunn". The beer bottles are empty and you walk through the village to exchange them against full ones in the taverns or directly at the brewery. If you meet one of your opponents, you have a drink, so both players lose one of their full bottles. There are also two neutral "Nassauer", (German expression for a "scrounger"), and if a player meets one of him, he has to have a drink with that, too. Aim is, to get as many full bottles at home as possible, which is easier late in the game, when you can just slip through empty taverns (=no full bottles anymore) and shorten your ways. The board representing "Buddlbrunn" has some similarities to the "Petri-Netz", as do the other games of Helmut Dressler, "Play Net" and "Glebdo". Some people shall have played this with real bottles and real drinking ... Although it s quite an old game and very rare, it`s still available directly from the designer (April 2007)
