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：歷史的種子！
進入 20 世紀初，咖啡不再只是一種飲料，而是一個不斷發展的產業、一種文化中心和一種聲望的象徵。
在《Café》中，您將扮演一家咖啡公司，尋求在葡萄牙蓬勃發展的咖啡產業中建立最高效、最具影響力的供應鏈。
《Cafe》的靈感源自真實歷史事件（包括將咖啡種子帶回巴西的秘密任務），故事發生在葡萄牙咖啡貿易蓬勃發展的時期。隨著咖啡豆從巴西、安哥拉、聖多美和普林西比以及東帝汶湧入，里斯本及週邊地區的精英咖啡館開始湧現，成為社交和商業的中心。
這款精美緊湊的策略遊戲適合1至4名玩家，你的目標是監督咖啡從研磨到沖泡的整個過程。你需要開發種植園、烘乾咖啡豆、烘焙咖啡豆，並將咖啡分銷到各大知名咖啡館。成功取決於你對空間、時間和物流的最佳化能力。
遊戲的核心在於如何放置和疊加卡牌來建立你的網路。每張卡片都有多個圖標，代表不同的行動或生產步驟，精心的佈局是解鎖強大組合的關鍵。每個決策都會影響你高效率生產和交付的能力，並最終超越你的競爭對手。
- Café* 易於學習，但戰術深度豐富，無論您是單人遊戲還是與他人一起玩，都能提供令人滿意的挑戰。回合進行得很快，但每次回合都會觸發有意義的規劃，因為你擴大了你的公司並採取了有限的行動。
隨著遊戲的進展，玩家的目標是實現配送目標，擴大影響力，並最終成為葡萄牙咖啡的領導品牌。
如果您喜歡空間謎題、供應鏈規劃以及優雅設計中的濃厚歷史主題，那麼Café 將為您提供流暢而大膽的體驗，讓您盡情享受。
