SUMMER OF GAMES: Starting now and celebrating with... Beer & Bread!

Post by DrClick »

Image

Starting on the 1st of August (TODAY), and for the next 31 days: each day a new game to discover!
 
On the home page, just below the new releases, you can see a 31-day calendar, with a box for each day. From the 1st of August to the 31th of August, you can click on the box of the day to discover... the release of the day!
 
How to explore?
Each day, click the box for that day’s treasure.
And with "each day", we mean "Every 24h there is a new box to open". And you cannot win a trophy if you open the treasures too late. One click, every day. That's why these trophies are some the most difficult to get. And why they are so valuable.

Earn trophies along the way:
Open the first day’s box to instantly win a unique Summer trophy.
Visit daily to unlock more exclusive achievements.

The ultimate challenge: Open all 31 days consecutively to claim the hardest-to-earn achievement! (Miss a day? You can still grab the others.)

Time zone note: The calendar follows Paris time (CEST / UTC+2), so be sure to click before the next tide rolls in!

...and we are starting with Beer and Bread!
In Beer & Bread, peaceful competition simmers beneath the surface of two neighboring villages. Both share the same fields, harvest the same crops, and draw from the same traditions — baking wholesome bread and brewing hearty beer. But there is only room for one champion of craft.
 
Beer & Bread offers an elegant, strategic experience for two players. It’s a game about using limited resources wisely, planning around shifting conditions, and striking the perfect balance between your two trades.
Each game unfolds over six years. Some are fruitful, offering more choices and opportunities. Others are dry, forcing you to make do with less. You use multi-purpose cards to harvest ingredients, produce goods, upgrade your facilities, or sell for coins. Timing and adaptability are key.
 
But what truly sets Beer & Bread apart is its scoring system. Only the type of good (beer or bread) for which you have earned fewer coins will count at the end. Focusing too much on one and ignoring the other is a recipe for regret.
It’s not just about being the best brewer or baker. It’s about mastering both, under pressure, with a limited hand of cards and a watchful rival across the table.
For fans of tight two-player games with smart card drafting and resource management, Beer & Bread is a satisfying blend of depth and simplicity. Quick to learn, but full of meaningful decisions from the first card to the last.
 
You can now play it online with friends or find opponents around the world, directly in your browser by looking at the tutorial first, or clicking the link below:

Ready to knead dough and craft the perfect pint?
Let's thank Deep Print Games and the designer Scott Almes for the authorization to bring this game on our platform, and let's raise a toast for the inspired work done by tchobello to made the online adaptation for BGA!
 
That's your Friday release!
Don't forget to check our daily releases out in the Summer Calendar (on the front page) and grab the associated achievements: one click in the calendar date every day will bring you a unique trophy!
Will you keep it till the end?
Let's go, and until next release: take care and play fair!

It's Saturday (the second day) and I can't click the calendar. Am I doing something wrong or is it just bugged?

I feel cheated. I was unable for several days to find the calender. It's still not obvious and not in the same place as previous times. I am logged in every day but never able to get the streak going. I want credit for day 1.
