About this game
A 2-player card game about village life across six years of alternating harvest and famine. In harvest years, you draft cards and share resources openly; in famine years, you keep everything secret and compete for scarce supplies. Bake bread and brew beer using ingredient cards, upgrading your recipes over the years. Your final score is the lower of your bread and beer totals, forcing balanced production. The harvest/famine rhythm creates a unique cooperative-then-competitive dynamic in a tight 30-minute package.
