What to Expect
Players race simultaneously to flip and grab ingredient cards from a shared supply to complete open and takeout orders. Takeout orders use face-down ingredients, introducing a memory challenge while speed and accuracy determine revenue. Mistakes reduce income; the highest earner wins. The game condenses the original's order-fulfillment tension into a portable format.
Who Is This Game For?
Suited for players who like short, hectic rounds: a family-level game playable from age 8. With a 15-minute playtime it's ideal for travel or quick sessions. Prior experience with memory or set-collection mechanics is helpful but not required.
How It Works
Each player starts with two open orders, then a countdown launches simultaneous play. Players flip ingredient cards one at a time and take needed items from the common pool, slotting them under orders. Takeout orders are built from face-down ingredients, requiring recall of what you've collected. Revenue is scored based on completed orders and correctness.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Daryl Chow, this travel version keeps the Coffee Rush core while emphasizing real-time tension and a memory twist for takeout orders. It pairs Memory with Set Collection in a compact, repeatable package meant for quick sessions.
