Bread and Beer is a strategic game for 2 players. By playing cards you harvest resources, improve your village and sell beer and bread. Each card can be used in three different ways. Slide the card above the game board for a harvest, under the game board for an expansion of the village or discard the card to sell beer and bread. The way you get cards depends on the round. During a strong year you pass cards back and forth, each time choosing a card to play. During a lean year you have to make do with the cards you are dealt, although you are allowed to exchange limited cards with the trading card field. Whoever has produced the most beer or bread after six rounds wins. But there is a small catch. What you produced the least amount of will determine your final score. So you lose if you have invested heavily in bread, while your beer production has remained very limited. As a strategic game for two players, Bread and Beer is a real challenge! The game is full of player interaction. Each round you have to make decisive choices that have direct consequences for the next round. Moreover, Bread and Beer is beautifully illustrated by Michael Menzel (The Legends of Andor, The Adventures of Robin Hood). Highly recommended for anyone looking for a big game in a small box!

The value of the die he covers with this determines whether he has to pay money for it or receives it. For choosing a low die you get a bonus, which becomes increasingly attractive as the game progresses. Then you perform the actions associated with the field in question. The different areas, such as the spring, the training grounds and the castle, offer different options for action. You can receive coins, daimyo seals and resources, but also install gardeners or have tribe members climb the social ladder within the castle as courtiers until they perhaps reach the daimyo's floor.

Because the dice on the bridges and the dice tiles on the game board are always rolled and placed randomly, the starting position is different every game. The same applies to the promotions available in the different places. As a result, The White Castle of Himeji always remains surprising and challenging.
