About this game
Coffee Traders sets you loose in the 1970s coffee trade, where fair pricing, cooperative farmers and your own bottom line are constantly pulling in different directions. You develop growing regions alongside your rivals, ship arabica beans to Antwerp, and juggle contracts that reward playing nice with the market just as often as playing sharp against it. It is a heavy, considered economic game where every action point matters and every region you help develop might benefit a competitor as much as you. Meaty, slow-burning and genuinely thoughtful about the trade it depicts, this is a game for players who like their economics with real teeth.
