How to play Heaven & Ale

Heaven & Ale has players move around a rondel to take tiles, then place them in their monastery brewery to build ingredient production and improve their brewhouse. The scoring rewards a careful balance between how much you produce and how well you advance your brewer, so it feels like a tight planning puzzle with limited timing choices. It suits 2 to 4 players who enjoy medium-weight economic games; it plays in 60 to 90 minutes and is best at 4.
