Bread 2023

The world’s resources are depleting at a critical time, and you need the right infrastructure to survive. Take turns burning cards to activate either the trucks ? or mills ? of your tableau. If you build enough bread ? to quell your unrest ? before the end ☢️, you survive. There’s more than enough bread for everyone… provided you work with each other rather than against.

? Activate your trucks to gather (or steal) cards, either for yourself or for others. ? Activate your mills to build infrastructure, adding cards to any player's tableau.

With these 2 actions and 5 different types of infrastructure, the players are equipped with all the tools they need to: • Search the deck for materials, like the pivotal bread . • Build up a tableau to efficiently distribute bread . • Give cards to a friend so they don’t burn through the deck. • Steal cards from a greedy hoarding player. • Build walls to stop a rampant thieving player.

The game finishes when the end event ☢️ appears, which is shuffled into the latter part of the deck. Unrest events ? along the way will set the players back, and force them to burn more cards to activate their infrastructure.

Can you hold a cooperative spirit, even as resources dwindle and you’re forced to contend with unexpected famine?
