    Description

    Pandemain: Traditional Farmers' Bread is a worker placement and bread making game for 1 to 4 players, where you must run a small bakery business located in the village of Nördlingen, during the fascinating period of the Middle Ages. Buy ingredients in the market, get flour by visiting the mill, bake your bread in the Feudal Lord’s oven and try to sell it in nearby villages. Satisfy the demand with high quality bread and improve your reputation to prosper and emerge victorious. Face the difficulties of the harsh medieval life, in which only a few peasants escaped the servile dependence of the Feudal Lord.

    The game takes place in the medieval region of the Duchy of Schwaben during the year 1276, in the domains of Emperor Rudolf I of Habsburg and under the watchful eye of the Inquisition. The historical base of the game has been verified in ancient documents and history books, and its mechanics are based on readings from original literature of that time. Explore this enigmatic period hidden under layers of mud and ash, and discover the real day to day of the period’s peasants.

    Pandemain: Traditional Farmers' Bread is played in turns. Each player starts with four workers and they can get another one if certain conditions are met.

    There are 5 game rounds divided in 4 phases each, with a variable element at the end of the game. In the game, some actions that are chosen by the players (worker placement), and all actions will lead to the selling of the bread they bake in the nearest villages or to the Feudal Lord, which additionally gives you favors (set collection). Each type of bread is sold at a different price and have different point values. The players must collect the correct ingredients for each recipe, bake high quality or low quality bread and sell it, for which they will receive the gratitude from the villages (set collection), allowing them to make extra actions and receive extra points. The players can hire and improve their master bakers (set collection), which allows them to bake the highest quality bread, provide benefits, and increase their reputation. Cows, oxen and wagons add some variability when the players go to acquire the ingredients.

    The Inquisition is also relevant: the players will make donations to the church, which gives them influence to avoid losing points each round and, in return they will give some benefits and points. And not only that, the church also controls the turn order.
