    Is there a way to play without having to give wine/beer to your colonists?

    I bought this game day 1 cause I LOVE the concept, but as a personal rule I stay away from all things alcohol. Even the virtual concept of handing out beer felt awful. Had to drop the game eventually.

    If anyone knows wether its possible to win a round without touching the virtual drink, please let me know. Good town building games are so damn rare :(

      I usually don’t advertise my personal aversion to alcohol specifically because I’m not interested in getting backlash for it like you did. It would be understandable backlash if you were being judgmental about those who do drink, but you were not doing that, so it just feels plain bad to see that people downvoted you for your innocent question. I like to keep it out of my life too, and I do the same in games when I can, so you’re not alone.

      It’s possible (and common) to win without alcohol, but in some cases you’d be handicapping yourself.

      Guess you couldn’t get into Frostpunk either if doing objectionable things in a game is a showstopper for you.

        Nah, I actually did manage to win that one. No taverns :)

        Still, thanks for letting me know that its doable. Off to buy the expansions!

          You were okay with the child labor, forced 24 hour shifts, brothels, etc but draw the line at the tavern?
