About the game

What you do in a play session

Quests Over Coffee: Expansion #03 – Science Shmience arrives to boost the campaign of adventurers already spreading their quests everywhere. Now, fame brings a new kind of conflict: the clash between cultures and technologies. No, it’s not magic – it’s science, but with that "shmience" twist only the Quests Over Coffee universe can deliver. The expansion adds nine Environment cards, one Shop card, eleven new Quests, and six brand‑new Items for the heroes. Each Environment changes how quests are resolved, forcing players to tweak their tactics and use dice rolling creatively. The new Quests range from scientific puzzles to comical scenarios, preserving the humorous tone of the base game. The Items give tactical options, like gadgets that can modify a die roll or grant bonuses in specific situations. All components are Print & Play, so just download, print, and cut – no waiting for plastic pieces. Playtime stays short, 10‑20 minutes, and the expansion works smoothly solo or with a partner, keeping the original’s flow. If you love crafting quick stories, enjoy a good laugh, and don’t mind printing your own parts, Science Shmience is the scientific pinch needed to unite the fragmented fanbase and make the table even more fun.
