About the game
Moka is a cat baker who, after years of effort, decided to open a cat-themed coffee shop. The venture has been so successful that Moka can't keep up with all the people who want to try her cat-inspired products, so she's looking for new chefs to help her prepare the desserts. The first player to collect 4 desserts (2 to 3 players) or 5 desserts (4 to 5 players) wins, but be careful, if you have too many of the same desserts, Moka will not like it and you will lose the game. There are also two more modes: Mokaccino, where players will be eliminated one by one and the last one standing will be the undisputed chef of Moka and the Irish Coffe mode, in which you have to collect points to win, if a chef wins he wins 2 points and cleans his dessert area, while if a chef loses the one who made him lose wins 2 points the others one but the loser never gets points. We hope you enjoy this delicious game! Can you handle the task? You'll have to prove your courage in the kitchen and compete to delight Moka with your sweet menu. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Catfé supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Catfé is 5–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Catfé for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Catfé has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
