About the game
Game given by Dutch coffee company Douwe Egberts to customers which had collected a lot of coupons found on their products. Theme of the game is coffee (really!); you are a coffee seller buying raw harvested beans and rights for different production phases (blending, roasting, packaging and distribution) to optimize the profit from selling your coffee. You can trade coffee and rights with other players. One can also buy stock in one of the production plants (squares on the board); when you land on that square you get the rights for free, when others land on it they buy rights from you instead of the bank. It resembles Monopoly (though it is different enough not to be called a clone) and has a similar limited-but-existing possibility for using strategy.
