Description

In Seize the Bean, you're a barista turned entrepreneur, determined to open the best café in Berlin. You're not alone, though - your friends, also successful baristas, have had the same idea. To prove your skills, you'll need to attract and serve a diverse range of customers, from your initial family and friends to the wider community. Each turn, you'll prioritize your actions to upgrade your café, expand your product line, and restock resources, all while serving a line of thirsty customers with unique demands. As you serve customers, they'll offer special skills to help or hinder your progress. Keep them happy, and you can form combos that earn you reputation points from the city pool. But be warned: impatient customers can leave bad reviews, dooming your shop. With a playtime of 45 to 90 minutes, Seize the Bean is a thrilling competition for 1 to 4 players, where the goal is to earn the most reputation before the city pool runs out, triggering the final serve and determining the ultimate café champion.
