Beer & Bread (Eng)

Beer & Bread is a multi-purpose card game for two players. Its clever structure of alternating turns gives a fascinating twist to player interaction, card drafting and resource management.

Founded on the fertile lands of an ancient monastery, two villages have perpetuated the dual traditions of brewing beer and baking bread. While sharing fields and resources, they still pride themselves on their friendly rivalry to outdo each other's products.

Each of you represents one of these villages. Over the course of six years (which alternate between fruitful and dry), you must harmonise your tasks of harvesting and storing resources, producing beer and bread, selling them for coins and improving your facilities.

However, to win, you need to maintain a balance between your bakery and liquid products. This is because, after the sixth year, you only score the coins collected on the type of good - beer or bread - for which you earned less.

The village with the highest score wins.
