Brew monastery ale on a track where every choice costs something
Vibe's take
Crunchy, agonizing, tight, rewarding
Who it's for
Euro gamers who enjoy optimization under constraints. The brewery theme gives character to what is essentially a pure puzzle at 3-4 players.
Not for you if…
Not for casual gamers — the scoring is unintuitive and the rules overhead is real. Takes a full game before the strategy clicks.
Players manage a monastery brewery, placing tokens on a circular track to claim resources, hire brewmasters, and develop their cloister. The twist: where you place determines both what you get and what you pay, creating a constant push-pull between value and cost.
