In Bar Fight, you represent a bar competing in the world's most prestigious bartending competition. Each bar has it's own unique bonus ability, and signature and classic cocktails that can boost your score.

Each round you'll make a drink by combining Spirit, Mixer, and Flair cards in order to impress the specific Judge for the round. Different ingredients have various effects on each other, and the Judges have their own preferences, so there are countless ways to make a great drink. Judge cards are revealed three rounds in advance, so players must both impress the current Judge but also plan ahead for future rounds.

The highest scoring drink of the round wins that round's Judge Card, worth a number of Prize Ribbons, and the first player to get enough Ribbons wins the title of Bar Fight Champion!
