Beans

Get your coffee and your beans ready, because Buon Gioco (or "Good Game," if you prefer) is here to offer you a relaxing break! This little card game, originally published by Avid Press for Starbucks, is an invitation to enjoy a quiet moment, either alone or with up to three friends. Inspired by medieval European cards, the 40-card deck has a charming look and features the Italian suits: Coppa (Cups), Oro (Gold), Spada (Swords), and Bastone (Clubs). The gameplay is a pleasant mix of set collection and trick-taking, where you'll try to gather the right cards and win rounds to accumulate points. And to make everything more thematic and practical, scoring is done with real coffee beans! Yes, you read that right, coffee beans to count your points. The packaging is a treat, usually a small wooden box that adds a special touch. It's the perfect kind of game for those who enjoy something quick, easy to learn, and not too mentally taxing, ideal for accompanying a coffee or a light chat. If you like card games with a retro feel and a theme that suits a cozy atmosphere, Buon Gioco is a sure bet. It's a classic that brings the simplicity and charm of an Italian coffee house game, adapted for coffee lovers. An uncomplicated and charming experience for those seeking straightforward fun.
