In order to insure you had the best game experience, we included a complimentary second set in select first printings of the game. Read more about this here.
You can play DISTILLED on Board Game Arena (played via a web browser or mobile phone).
You can play both DISTILLED and LUTHIER on Tabletop Simulator (requires a computer and purchased app).
For DISTILLED, we recommend Mayday Games Premium Sleeves, as these fit in the insert. Reference total card count and size on the game's page, but the two sleeve sizes you'll need are 56 x 87mm (Standard USA) and 41 x 63mm (Mini USA).
For LUTHIER, we created custom sleeves for the game, and you can find and order those on our website.
We at Paverson Games create games that are considered "medium weight" in their strategic complexity.
Because of this, we ship an additional rulebook with both of these games, designed to teach you the game while you are playing the first round (much like a tutorial in a video game).
DISTILLED and LUTHIER Deluxe Edition ship with a handy diagram on how to re-pack the game, but Dave has also created a video for DISTILLED that walks you through that process.
For LUTHIER Standard Edition, we have provided complimentary baggies for you to organize your components.
Distilled is not a drinking game! Distilled is about the science and business of crafting the spirits rather than the consumption of alcohol. So whilst we appreciate that the theme may appeal more to people who do drink alcohol (and may house-rule accordingly!), we also hope that people who don't drink will find the theme interesting and will enjoy the gameplay just as much.
Pretty much everything, including all cards sleeved! This includes the main game, the Africa & Middle East Expansion, Distilled Cask Strength, and the KS Promo Pack. You can swap out metal coins and cubes and store them as well.
The Deluxe Edition has the following key differences from the Standard Edition:
Both the LUTHIER and DISTILLED playmats can be spot cleaned with warm water (and if removing a stain, mix in a mild detergent). It is NOT recommended that you put it in a washing machine, as it could cause unnecessary wear to the printed image and playmat materials. Dry flat, out of direct sunlight.
We will be doing a crowdfunding campaign for the Distilled: Cocktails Expansion later in 2025. Please be sure to visit the Cocktails Kickstarter page to be notified immediately when it launches.
We would love to hear from you about your game idea! Please make sure to do a bit of research first, to ensure that your game submission is the right fit for Paverson Games.
