Game Flow & Core Actions

1. Seeding Phase

Replenish fields (as indicated on the little signs in the field--green for Fruitful years, red for dry years):

Resource	Color	Tokens Replenished (Fruitful Year)	Tokens Replenished (Dry year)
Wheat	Yellow	7	5
Barley	Brown	8	4
Rye	Orange	6	4
Hops	Green	6	4
Water	Blue	All	All

2. Card Phase

Retrieve harvested cards from last round into your hand.

Draw until you have 5 cards.

Reveal 3 new exchange cards into shared spaces.

3. Action Phase

On your turn, play a card from your hand to make one of three actions:

• Harvest & Store: Collect the resources shown at the top of the card.
• Brew/Bake: Spend the resources shown in the middle of the card (on the chalkboard) to gain the commodity pictured (either beer or bread) by playing it to your brewery or bakery. Then flip the card face-down. It's now sold. (You must have an open space unless upgrades let you hold more.)
• Upgrade & Clean: Remove any facedown cards from the brewery and/or bakery, then slide the card under your side of the board. You gain a bonus on that card.
• In Dry years, you may swap a card in your hand with one in the Exchange card space and do any of the above actions. But you must play that card immediately.

4. Windmill Phase

The player with fewest resources gets the windmill (first player token). In a tie, the token goes to the person who did not hold it in the last round.

Advance the year marker. The game ends after year six.

Endgame & Scoring

Add up the numbers printed on the coins of all sold beer cards. Do the same for all sold bread cards.

Apply any bonuses granted by upgrades.

The lower of the two totals is the player's final score. The player with the highest of those scores wins.

In case of a tie, the player with the higher score of their other commodity wins. If this does not break the tie, player who does not have the windmill wins.

Upgrades

Upgrades are a key part in enhancing your ability to produce beer and bread. Multiple copies of the same upgrade stack (add up), if applicable.

"Collect" a resource means it must be taken from the field/river and put into storage. If all the resources of that type are gone from the field, you cannot collect any more. Any tokens that cannot be stored (due to capacity) must be offered to the other player.

Types of Upgrades:

• Increasing storage capacity.
• Improving resource collection (e.g., get from supply when fields are empty).
• Enhancing cleaning or production
• Flexible resource substitutions
• Scoring boosts
