Best Cellars 2026

Best Cellars is an interactive bid & write game for 1-6 players (best at 4-5). Each player has the numbers 1–16, and each can only be used once. Every round, players secretly choose one of their remaining numbers before revealing simultaneously. The highest bid secures a prized place in your Reserve, matching bids lead to a convivial drink with friends, and the lowest bid means another lonely evening in the Tasting Room.

As different types of drinks appear throughout the game, you'll need to decide whether to invest in your collection of wines, fill your ale barrels, hunt for valuable spirits, or build a perfectly curated Reserve. Every number you spend is gone for the rest of the game, so reading your opponents and timing your bids is just as important as planning your own cellar.

Best Cellars is a highly interactive "roll & write" style game, and offers a tense blend of bluffing, prediction, and clever score-sheet optimisation in a compact print-and-play package.
