Café International

1989 · Abstract Strategy

Café International

Place multinational customers at a crowded restaurant to score points. Players draw and place tiles showing guests of different nationalities and genders onto a map of tables; some chairs sit on borders and may accept two nationalities. Tables score for having matching nationalities and a balanced mix of genders, and certain placements can make tiles unplayable as the seating fills. Players plan placements to maximize scoring while managing limited seating and emerging restrictions.

    #31 The game plays you? Just too old and not interesting anymore.

    Is the luck mitigated by clever placement? We shall see.
