2007 to 2 to 4 players - Medium - 1 hour - I. Brand - Eggertspiele
SwatSh : 7 / 10
Guatemala Coffee is a simple, lightweight and I like.
Like Guatemala Coffee mainly for its freshness and originality of its mechanisms. We play on two parallel plates in , one allowing us to purchase items (workers, roads, boats , plants) that we can place on the second.
The second platform will enable us to gain victory points for the factories where we have more workers than the opponents.
The theme Guatemala Coffee is not very original but the mechanism is simple and easy. Even if we can build throughout the game an effective strategy is the most opportunistic player wins the game which gives a bit of frustration when it had enjoyed the best strategy ...

Guatemala Coffee is a game that (Me) I find fun and original. Nice stuff and its design, with its original two tables of play On the first plateau (right in photo) is recruits and buying plants, ships and workers not to mention roads) that are place on the second (left).
The cost of each item (except traffic) depends on the location chosen on the second picture: the more one is far from the port, at least it costs.
Money is important and management crucial.
Another aspect that I find interesting is the fact of "deliveries". On the right table, you can also choose to deliver coffee by selecting a bag. Breakdown of points (based on the second plate) is for all players. So be sure to do well, always pocket more points than his opponents.
To be more complete, the bag concerns income only to the player who took it.
In summary, Guatemala Coffee is a complex game is very fun to play, do not last more than an hour, offers beautiful material (the colors could be improved).
A highlight from time to time!
