“Heaven & Ale” is a strategic board game designed by Michael Kiesling and Andreas Schmidt, where players take on the roles of monks in charge of developing their own monastery gardens. The game revolves around resource management, tile placement, and efficient timing, as players collect resources, cultivate fields, and brew beer. Players must balance the growth of crops, placement of monks, and resource collection from the surrounding terrain to score points for their monastery, all while optimizing their garden to ensure the most efficient production of beer. The aim is to achieve the best combination of ingredients, ultimately leading to the highest score and the most successful monastery by the game’s end.
