Step into the early 20th century, where coffee is more than just a drink, it’s a growing industry, a cultural centerpiece, and a symbol of prestige.
In Café, you take on the role of a coffee company looking to build the most efficient and influential supply chain in Portugal’s booming coffee scene.
Inspired by real historical events (including the secret mission to bring coffee seeds to Brazil) Café takes place during a period when Portugal’s coffee trade flourished. With beans arriving from Brazil, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor, elite cafés began popping up across Lisbon and beyond, serving as hubs for society and business alike.
In this beautifully compact strategy game for 1 to 4 players, your goal is to oversee the entire coffee process, from the ground to the cup. You develop plantations, dry beans, roast them, and distribute your coffee to prestigious cafés. Success depends on your ability to optimize space, timing, and logistics.
The core of the game lies in how you place and overlap cards to build your network. Every card has multiple icons representing different actions or production steps, and careful placement is key to unlocking powerful combinations. Each decision impacts your ability to produce and deliver efficiently — and to outmanoeuvre your competitors.
Café is easy to learn but rich in tactical depth, offering a satisfying challenge whether you are playing solo or with others. Rounds move quickly, but each turn invites meaningful planning as you expand your company and navigate limited actions.
As the game progresses, players aim to fulfil delivery goals, expand their influence, and ultimately become the leading name in Portuguese coffee.
If you enjoy spatial puzzles, supply chain planning, and a strong historical theme wrapped in elegant design, Café offers a smooth yet bold experience you’ll want to savour.

Café：历史的种子！
进入 20 世纪初，咖啡已不再只是一种饮料，而是一个不断发展的产业、一种文化中心和一种声望的象征。
在Café中，您将扮演一家咖啡公司，寻求在葡萄牙蓬勃发展的咖啡行业中建立最高效、最具影响力的供应链。
Café的灵感源自真实历史事件（包括将咖啡种子带回巴西的秘密任务），故事发生在葡萄牙咖啡贸易蓬勃发展的时期。随着咖啡豆从巴西、安哥拉、圣多美和普林西比以及东帝汶涌入，里斯本及周边地区的精英咖啡馆开始涌现，成为社交和商业的中心。
这款精美紧凑的策略游戏适合1至4名玩家，你的目标是监督咖啡从研磨到冲泡的整个过程。你需要开发种植园、烘干咖啡豆、烘焙咖啡豆，并将咖啡分销到各大知名咖啡馆。成功取决于你对空间、时间和物流的优化能力。
游戏的核心在于如何放置和叠加卡牌来构建你的网络。每张卡牌都有多个图标，代表不同的行动或生产步骤，精心的布局是解锁强大组合的关键。每个决策都会影响你高效生产和交付的能力，并最终超越你的竞争对手。
Café易于学习，但战术深度丰富，无论您是单人游戏还是与他人一起玩，都能提供令人满意的挑战。回合进行得很快，但每次回合都会触发有意义的规划，因为你扩大了你的公司并采取了有限的行动。
随着游戏的进展，玩家的目标是实现配送目标，扩大影响力，并最终成为葡萄牙咖啡的领军品牌。
如果您喜欢空间谜题、供应链规划以及优雅设计中的浓厚历史主题，那么Café将为您提供流畅而大胆的体验，让您尽情享受。
