Bear and Bread is a card game for two players. Its clever alternate-turn mechanic brings a fascinating touch to player interaction, card drawing and resource management.

Founded on the fruitful lands of an ancient monastery, two villages have preserved the dual tradition of brewing beer and baking bread. Although they share fields and resources, they still pride themselves on their friendly rivalry of surpassing 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 harmonize your tasks of harvesting and storing resources, producing beer and bread, selling coins and improving your facilities.

However, to win, you must maintain the balance between your cooked products and your liquid products. This is because after the sixth year you only score coins collected for the type of merchandise - beer or bread - for which you earned less. The village with the highest score wins.
