Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. You're a top - notch barista who thinks you can run a coffee business better than your boss. So, you quit your job and open your own café in Berlin. But guess what? Your barista friends did the same! In Seize the Bean, players battle to be Berlin's best new café. Reputation in real - life Berlin and in the game comes from the customers you serve. You start with just family and friends. Each turn, you must prioritize your limited actions to attract customers, upgrade your café, expand your product line, and restock resources for the most reputation. Before taking actions each turn, serve a line of customers with different drink demands. As you serve, customers offer special skills to influence the game. But keep enough stock; impatient customers can leave bad reviews and sink your shop. Keep them happy to form combos and earn reputation points from the 'city' pool. Once the reputation pool is empty, the endgame starts, and it's a final serve step to test your café's success.
