Fika - The Clever Coffee Break*
Fika is a tactical two-player card game built around the Swedish coffee break. As café owners you arrange your own cards cleverly while manipulating your opponent’s, racing to be the first to win two rounds.
Each round has two phases: first you set the round’s primary and secondary suit colours, then both players simultaneously play a card face down and reveal it. Cards go into your café in order of initiative, and you decide whether to resolve their effects. At the round’s end you read your café left to right to see which card objectives are met and earn coins. Collect two Tip cards to win — a fast duel with surprising tactical depth.
