People play card and board games in brewery taprooms. It is not uncommon. Dank & Draft is a new game about brewery taprooms, designed by a local creator. It’s meta. Dank & Draft is about brewery taprooms and is well-suited for playing at brewery taprooms.
“The game is built for brewery tables,” says Becky Young, who recently launched the game. “A full round takes less time than it takes to drink a beer, and it draws from the taproom game culture I see everywhere I go in Washington. I recently launched Dank & Draft, a fast-playing card game featuring 26 Washington breweries. Everything about the project is local, right down to the printing and packaging at Seattle Printworks.”
In the next few months, Becky will host game events at each participating brewery. Again, this is very meta. A game about breweries, played at the specific breweries the game is about. Of course, you can play it anywhere, but where better than at a brewery taproom?
Seattle-based indie publisher Rainbow Rabbits Games created Dank & Draft for 2-4 players. A round takes about 20 minutes. The game invites players to build their own taproom lineup featuring authentic Washington-brewed beers. Each round, players draft beers from rotating “taps,” add them to their taprooms, and play action cards that steal, spoil, or recycle their way to victory. It’s fast-paced, easy to learn, and is a perfect fit between pints.

The game’s artwork nods to the Pacific Northwest’s beer identity with bold illustrations and a cast of woodland mascots that feel right at home in any Washington brewery. And staying true to PNW spirit, every part of the project was completed in-state, from designs by Aly Osborn of Handsome Meatball to playtesters across local taprooms, and even printing and packaging at Seattle Printworks.
“I love walking into a local pub and seeing people gathered around a table with a deck of cards or a board game,” says Becky Young, creator of Dank & Draft. “You’ll see everything from cribbage and Go to newer favorites like 7 Wonders. My go-to is Azul because it’s small enough for the table and easy to play while having a chat. I wanted to create a game that people want to play in bars. Something quick, social, and that fits right in between rounds.”
