Blue Steel Brewery is a "roll and write" game that puts the player in the seat of a manager, at a beer-making company. The goal is to take the initial capital and increase the size of the business by buying ingredients from the fluctuating market and producing various types of beers and ales to sell. Logistically, ales are a type of beer, but for the sake of the function of the game, they are separate. The market prices are determined by dice rolls, which is the only use of dice. You, the player, then choose which ingredients to buy knowing which beer/ale to produce and the sale price of that beer or ale. There is also the company building, which graphically represents the "company building." The player then uses the in-game coins to buy extra beer/ale producers and storage. Additionally, the storage aspect of the game allows beers/ales to gain monetary benefits by letting them ferment. The bulk of the end-game points tends to focus on the company building, so be wary. The company building is the layout of the objects you buy; a visual representation.
