What is Coffee Traders

Thousands of coffee farmers all over the world support their families by using small stretches of hillside land for their coffee plantations. Farmers work day in and day out for very little, but the future of coffee farming is bright. Fair Trade organizations strive to improve living conditions for these farmers by helping them set up cooperatives. This enables them to establish better pricing agreements and take out loans for new plantations, all to help provide education and improve the quality of their lives, families, societies, and environment.

In Coffee Traders, set in 1970s Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, the delicious Arabica coffee beans farmers harvest are sold in Antwerp — and all over the world — to coffee roasters large and small. Work with your competitors to develop the regions you see fit for the best coffee beans while keeping a watchful eye on the market. Construct buildings to help your Fair Trade coffee plantations thrive while enhancing your network for trading coffee. Will your plantations fall to ruin, or will you rise to the top and become the world's greatest coffee trader?

Juego de mayorías y colocación de trabajadores. Se desarrolla durantes tres periodos, cada uno de los cuales con 6 fases. Así que no hay muchas acciones para realizar. Tienes que producir café, para luego venderlo al coffe bar, o cumplir unos contratos para ganar punto, pero con mil y un detalles que no se pueden recoger aquí. Es un euro duro. Las reglas no son tan difíciles una vez las comprendes, pero la estrategia para ganar es otra cosa. Cuesta mucho verlo. Es un juego sólo para jugones. Ocupa mesa como un sarcófago.

No puntuo el juego, sino lo lamentable del preorder de Capstone. Que ha llegado a tiendas antes y más barato que a los que hicimos el preorder.

Being 6 score "Ok - will play if in the mood." That's what it is I understand all the effort they put into this game. Production is perfect, thematic is good. Despite that I think they turn an euro that was supposedly to be a midweight into a difficult one unnecessarily It's a game that I will play, as said, if I'm in the mood
