Café & Expresso
Description
From Brazil, the king ordered Sergeant Melo Palheta to travel to French Guyana to formally establish the Utrecht Treaty of 1713 and to secretly bring coffee seeds to Brazil. The Sergeant was successful and by 1800 Brazil was one of the largest coffee producers in the world.
In the early 20th century, coffee from Brazil, São Tomé and Príncipe, Angola and Timor were highly prized in Portugal and inspired the appearance of prestige coffee shops in emblematic locations that attracted the elites of Portugal. Through dedication, hard work and expertise, the Portuguese of the 20th century witnessed the birth of one of the biggest coffee industries in the world.
In Café, 1 to 4 players represent coffee companies. From plantation, aging, roasting, and distribution, they try to create and control the best supply chain of coffee.
This version of Cafe' also includes the Expresso expansion with 8 new plan cards and 4 new icons: Expresso, Lote, Nata and Plus!
