Description

You and your fellow players work in a coffee shop in Order Overload: Cafe, and to keep your jobs, you need to keep a handle on all the orders coming in. Will you be able to make the right drinks?

In a round, you deal a certain number of cards face up and read them aloud so that everyone knows all the orders placed, then you deal these cards out face down to the players. On a turn, you need to name an order that's in someone else's hand. Fail to do so, and you're eliminated from play! If you collectively reveal a set number of drinks before everyone is eliminated, then you clear the level and are ready to take on tougher challenges...

What's the highest level you can clear?

  • I feel like every time we play that game, you see people's faces light up and we want to come back to it again and again.
  • What cult of the old game, so like 10 years old, have you discovered just this year?
  • Last Will.
  • Oh, it's so good.
  • But the last will is hilarious because your whole goal is you got to spend money and you got to spend all of it
  • Oracles of Delelfie.
  • I played this game I think two or three years ago at a convention and I loved every minute of it and I have just not been able to find it.
  • I'm really intrigued because I love Sweetland so much. I want to try Rosalie.
  • I will shout out another store uh local to us called Pomemetto Games run by the owner of David. He is a phenomenal human being.
