====== Introduction ======

Player skills are based upon manufacturer and characteristic combinations. Skills are gained when you match skill books on any [[scratch_cards|scratch card]]. Skill books appear about once per scratch card. A skill can gain up to 40% affecting the minimum score roll of a drink recipe. Skills affect manufacturer/characteristics and the AVERAGE skill of all the characteristics of the product is used. If for instance you have Goose Island Beer at 2%, Goose Island Ale at 1% and Pale Ale at 0%, the average would be 1%.

As of 6/14/2016, [[kegmaster_cellar|Kegmaster Cellar]] picks also give skills as if it was matched on a scratch card.
