VivaJava: The Coffee Game: The Dice Game^*

VivaJava - Unsere beste Bohne is a brisk dice game about coffee blends and research for one to four players. It suits anyone who likes pushing their luck.

What is it?

This game follows VivaJava: The Coffee Game from 2012. Once again you work for VivaJava CoffeeCo. and hunt the world for the best beans. Your job is to keep the company on top and stay ahead of the other executives.

How a turn works

Your turn has three phases, and everything centers on your five coffee dice:

1. Score: Collect points for your running blends.
2. Roll: Take dice from the supply and roll them.
3. Activate: Use the dice to blend or to research.

Two paths to victory

• Blending brings quick points. Each round the blend fades, so bigger payoffs mean bigger risks.
• Research costs precious beans. In return it unlocks new dice abilities and new ways to score.
• Rolling together can push you forward, but it also keeps a rival right behind you.

The first player to reach 21 points wins.

Who is it for?

It works for families and regular gamers aged 10 and up who want dice luck with real decisions. A game takes 20 to 40 minutes. It plays best with three or four.

Conclusion

VivaJava boils the big coffee game down into a fast, swingy dice race. If you dislike chance, pick something else.
