Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is an in-game event, first launched on October 1, 2022. The detailed release notes are below:

*The first to celebrate Oktoberfest were the German settlers from the DLR, or German Aerospace Center. They, along with batches of vacuum sealed yeast, dwarf wheat variant seeds, and dwarf hops, brought a festival of drinking to the red planet. The very nature of the festival led to its spread across the lonely planet as socialization was needed for most settlers. What better way to achieve that goal than behind the metal can of a beer stein?*

Now, the event is celebrated across the planet, particularly in sparse regions such as in the Duskworks Landing and Trading Outpost Region.

Oktoberfest is here on Mars, and for a limited time you can obtain and Brew Martian beer, and participate in our Brewing Tournament!

This event features beers from our local Austin TX based Starbase Brewery!

**Note**: Ad Astra Unlimited reminds all Martians to drink responsibly on the Red Planet!

## Brewing Tournaments

### Oktoberfest Pukejack Tournament [Raffle]

* Players will battle for points in an exciting new drinking game themed around a familiar Earth card game.
* In Pukejack, you must chug beer for points without losing your cool. Will you chug your way to the top and tap out with as many points as you can hold, or will you bust and puke it all up for nothing?

#### Rules:

* For every drink you consumed during the Oktoberfest period, you earned a point labeled originally as “Beers Consumed during Oktoberfest” which you will see renamed to “Oktoberfest Drink Credits”
* Players will have options of a 1x entry or 10 entry, which have slightly different point values that can be earned when playing.

* If you draw an Ace, you will have a free option to add 10 to your score if the total is below 11. (You can’t force yourself to Puke from an Ace)

Note: There is no doubledown, splitting, insurance, or surrendering in Pukejack.

You drink, drink more, tap out, or puke, that's it!

### Oktoberfest Brew Tournament [Ranked]

**Martian brewers have been hard at work perfecting their finest recipes and we’ve taken notice!**

Qualified Brewers who have fulfilled their minimum requirements will be able to submit their brewing records and samples of their products in a Ranked competition!

For every brew you’ve made during Oktoberfest, you will have received an amount of points for the tournament. Spend these points in each of the available categories to earn the greatest score possible.

Make careful efforts on what Tiers you submit to, as this is a Ranked Tournament!

Design Note: There will be a degree of variance/randomness in the scoring that may cause some possible upsets in who wins the competition. This is meant to simulate variance in judges' scoring, and to make the outcomes a bit more fun/interesting instead of just doing a raffle.
