Episode 3: Hurts So Good

After playing a fair share of gateway games or lighter fare, it's nice to take a bite of something a little heavier. Heaven & Ale is a medium weight Euro game about monks making beer. It may be medium weight, but Heaven & Ale comes complete with a full contact method of scoring. Is it brutal? or unforgiving? If so, is that such a bad thing?
