Features
- Player-Controlled Futures Market - The value of your coffee depends on how closely it matches the current market conditions. Can you predict or, better yet, control the market's preference for region, blend, and roast?
- Mutually Beneficial Actions - While planting and processing apply only to the card-layer, harvest actions and selling phases apply to everyone, forcing players to weigh their own profit against that of their competitors.
- Player-Controlled Endgame - Players choose when and if to trigger a market event. The game ends after a defined number of market events have been completed.
- Appropriate for Alternative Retail Channels - By distributing their games through the Starbucks coffee chain, Cranium created a whole new market of gaming enthusiasts. Now's the time to introduce that market to the Euro gaming movement.
