Coffee Rush [Board Game]

Brew Up Success in a Fast-Paced, Coffee-Fueled Adventure!

Step into the bustling world of Coffee Rush, where you become a barista in a trendy coffee shop on the city’s busiest street. Orders are piling up, customers are waiting, and it’s your job to keep the caffeine flowing! Designed by Euijin Han and published by Korea Board Games, this vibrant strategy game blends grid movement, resource management, and time pressure into a delightful 30-minute experience for 2–4 players, ages 8 and up.

Game Overview

In Coffee Rush, your goal is to fulfill customer orders to boost your barista rating and claim the title of the best in town. Move your adorable barista meeple across the ingredient board to collect coffee beans, milk, steam, and ice, then fill your three clear coffee cups to complete orders. Each fulfilled order earns you points, but beware—unfulfilled orders turn into penalties that dock your rating. Complete three orders to unlock powerful upgrades, like faster movement or double ingredient collection, to stay ahead of the rush. The game ends when all order cards are depleted or a player collects their fifth penalty card. The barista with the highest rating wins!
