Pummel Party is Rebuilt Games' board game brawler, out since 20 September 2018 and playable by 1 to 8 people online, in local split screen, or against bots. Board turns decide who reaches the goblet, and the minigames between rounds decide who can afford the items that wreck someone else's turn. Steam Workshop support means the map and minigame list keeps growing past the official set of boards.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Pummeltown to Winterglow)

Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Pirate Paradise farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Items can only be used on your own turn and only before you roll, so a saved item does nothing if you forget the window. Decide before your turn starts, not after you see the roll.
- Farm Pirate Paradise during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
