Get your aprons ready and your crowns straight, because royalty has just arrived at the cafe! The Cafe Chaos: Royal Pack expansion is here to turn your usual breakfast rush into a full-blown royal banquet. If you thought managing the cafe was hectic enough, wait until you meet the new VIPs.
The star of the show is the introduction of 8 brand-new characters from the King's court. These aren't your average customers; they come with a unique RANK system (indicated by a numbered shield). This rank works alongside their standard power, allowing you to mix these high-society guests with your regular crowd, adding a fresh layer of tactical depth to your service.
But the royal treatment doesn's stop at the characters. This expansion packs 34 new cards to keep the gameplay spicy. You'll find 8 new food items, 2 delicious toppings, 2 new conditions, and 2 bonus actions to help you optimize your turns. To keep everyone on their toes, we've also included 4 event cards that can shift the momentum of the game in an instant. It's the perfect way to breathe new life into your cafe management sessions, offering more variety and more ways to master the chaos. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a casual fan, the Royal Pack adds just the right amount of complexity to keep the experience feeling fresh and exciting!
