About the game

What you do in a play session

Quests Over Coffee: Expansion #04 – Magic or Magic adds a touch of mystery and fun to the duos that already love the base game. The expansion introduces five new quest cards, three item cards, and one environment card, all with vibrant illustrations that bring the setting to life. Each quest presents a new short story that challenges players to use item cards creatively to overcome obstacles and achieve goals in up to three rounds. The magic theme is explored in a lighthearted way, with phrases that play on the idea that what looks like a trick might actually be pure magic. The central mechanic remains dice rolling, which determines who moves forward in the narrative and who faces unexpected challenges. Dice also influence item acquisition, creating a fun tension that keeps players on their toes. The expansion does not change the number of players – it still works for 1 or 2 – and keeps the game time short, perfect for a coffee session. Components are produced in Print & Play format, allowing you to print at home and start playing immediately without needing extra physical pieces. If you already love the quick narrative and light strategy mix of Quests Over Coffee, the Magic or Magic expansion will add an extra layer of surprise and humor, keeping the pace brisk and the fun guaranteed.
