NOW AVAILABLE! Become the greatest barista by quickly fulfilling coffee and beverage orders. 2-4 Players | 30+ Mins | Ages 8+ Features: Contracts, Grid Movement Description: A cup of coffee sure is relaxing — for the customer. For the coffee shop, however, orders tend to pile up during peak hours, and it is no different today at Coffee Rush. Your goal: Complete customer orders to increase your ratings and be recognized as the best barista! In more detail, each player moves on the ingredient board to collect the ingredients that they need to fulfill orders — and fulfilling orders boosts your rating. Orders that are not fulfilled in time become penalties, which subtract from your rating. If a player has fulfilled three orders, they may activate an upgrade that lets them acquire ingredients more easily. The game ends once all order cards have run out or after a barista collects their fifth penalty card. The player with the highest rating wins! Personal Review and Recommendation Argghh... That was my reaction to playing this game. Oh my goodness. You'll be yelling not another order, I can't handle it! Its a great game, simulates the chaos of customers wanting orders quickly but only so much you can do. Components quality is fantastic, you'll want to play it just so you can mix the chocolate with the mint, and ice. Next time we play I want to try adding an egg timer for choosing the ingredients, to increase the chaos even more and get that game time down. I'm not sure how they get 30 minutes for game time without an egg timer, as we spent way to long trying to figure out our most optimal path to get our ingredients. Our game was probably almost double that and my head was exploding.
