Description

VivaJava: The Coffee Game is all about crafting the perfect blend of coffee beans to dominate the market. Players send their researchers to hot spots around the globe, gathering beans and making crucial decisions about whether to go it alone or team up with others. Joining forces can lead to a superblend, but going solo allows players to develop unique abilities in the lab. With up to 8 players and simultaneous action selection, the game is quick and engaging with minimal downtime. The combination of solitary research, cooperation, and social play creates a rich and varied gameplay experience. Players must balance competing interests and strategies to emerge victorious, making VivaJava a thrilling and dynamic game that's perfect for groups of friends or fellow gamers.
