Board Game Coffee Rush - Winter

When the frosty days get shorter, your cozy coffee shop turns into a real haven for visitors looking for warmth and comfort. In the winter version of the game, we will once again have to stand at the bar and remember what it is like to be a professional barista. The table challenges players: to keep up with the frantic pace of rush hour and at the same time skillfully prepare special winter drinks.

When you fulfill orders, you will earn valuable like cards and victory points, but if you do not have time to adapt to the whims of demanding customers, you will be fined. The game ends when the order deck runs out or one of the baristas receives five fines. The winner and the best barista will be the one who most effectively copes with the winter influx of customers.

FEATURES OF THE WINTER VERSION

Fans of the predecessor game will recognize the familiar tension in the style of a crazy cooking marathon, but the winter edition has several important differences:

• modular playing field. Unlike the fixed structure of the original game, now the tiles with ingredients can be placed in different ways. You can choose between the options "Snowy Day" or "Windy Day". Thanks to this, each game will have to come up with a new strategy for movement;
• seasonal drinks. The menu has new items created specifically for the winter season;
• changes in components. The game components have been thematically updated. Fruits have been added to the ingredients, depicted as orange slices, and ice tokens are now shaped like snowmen, which better fits the winter theme;
• New improvements. With new improvement tiles in each game, you can choose four of the six available options to improve your cafe;
• Scoring. The scoring system has undergone changes. Now each Like card brings +2 points, each activated improvement — +5 points, and each penalty card gives -1 point.

MECHANICS

• Contracts — players receive or take on tasks with certain conditions. Completing contracts brings points, resources, or other rewards as required;
• Grid movement — the movement of pieces or tokens occurs along a clearly defined grid of cells with specified rules for direction and range of movement;
• Variable game preparation — the initial configuration of the playing field, components, or objectives is different each time, making each game have a different course.
