Ever imagined what would happen if Pokémon met a busy coffee shop in an epic duel? Well, grab your coffee, because Barista Brawl is here to shake up your table! This is the first Trading Card Game (TCG) based on the real life of baristas, bringing a super fun and relatable theme. Forget giant monsters; here, the real challenge is surviving waves of customers, noisy teenagers, and those infamous 'Karens' who test any professional's patience.
This is a cooperative experience where you and a friend team up as unbeatable baristas. Your goal is to manage your coffee shop perfectly to defeat the final boss. To achieve this, you'll use your decks to select the best Barista, Equipment, Inventory, and Action cards. The idea is to build the perfect mix of items to meet demand and keep the shop running while facing the challenges that come your way.

Featuring 150 beautifully hand-drawn cards, the game offers an amazing and full-of-personality visual style. It's the perfect choice for those looking for a dynamic, thematic game that can be played quickly, whether during a chill afternoon or a busy break. If you love collecting cards and enjoy coffee culture, Barista Brawl is your new cooperative addiction!
