About the game
VivaJava: The Coffee Game is a delightful experience for those who love strategy and social interaction. In it, you’re a coffee researcher on a quest to create the perfect blend of beans to craft the next global hit. Send your workers to different parts of the globe to collect beans, but beware: you might cross paths with other players on the same mission. Here, you face a crucial choice: go solo and develop unique abilities in the lab or team up with others to create a superblend and share the points. Victory goes to those who can balance solitary research and strategic cooperation. With mechanics like worker placement, simultaneous action selection, and negotiation, VivaJava offers strategic depth that will please both newcomers and veterans. And the best part: it supports up to 8 players, ensuring a dynamic experience with little downtime.
