About the game

What you do in a play session

Straight from the historic streets of Lviv, a promo card arrives to spice up your base game of Coffee! This little gem features two city icons: Kopalnya Kavy, opened way back in 1675 (yes, you read that right, 1675!), and Cafe Atlas, from 1871. They're more than just pretty backdrops; they act as strategic spots on your board. To activate these cafes' bonuses and snag some extra points (four, to be precise), you'll need to pay up two beans. It's a simple exchange, but it can make all the difference in your production and delivery strategy. If you enjoy Coffee and want to add a special touch with a piece of Ukraine, this card is for you. It doesn't radically change the game, but it adds an extra layer of decision-making and historical charm that's worth checking out. Think of it as a quick upgrade for your coffee shop, bringing an authentic taste of Lviv to your game nights.
