Café
Café review
Café is a surprisingly engaging game that takes you on a journey through the world of coffee production, from plantation to cup. The game mechanics are surprisingly deep for a game that plays in under 20 minutes. You'll be growing, harvesting, and processing coffee beans to build your empire and create the best supply chain possible.
I was particularly impressed by the quality of the components. The wood pieces are beautifully crafted, and the cards are thick and durable, giving the game a premium feel. The artwork on the cards is also very appealing and captures the essence of the coffee industry.
While Café is easy to learn, it offers plenty of strategic depth. You'll need to make tough decisions about where to invest your resources, what kind of coffee to produce, and how to market your product to gain the most points. There's a real sense of satisfaction in building up your coffee company and seeing your efforts rewarded at the end of the game.
Overall, I highly recommend Café to anyone who enjoys strategy games, especially those with an interest in the history and culture of coffee. It's a fun, fast-paced game that's perfect for a quick gaming session with friends or family.
