VivaJava: The Coffee Game: The Dice Game
Includes the VivaJava Dice Game Game of the Year Expansion
As in VivaJava, VivaJava Dice has players making the crucial decision between blending beans and research, but with a quick, new twist. Players must now use the dice in their pool to blend a best-seller for quick points, then press their luck in subsequent rounds for bigger points but fewer dice as the blends degrade - or to research, which involves using beans to gain an ever-changing variety of dice-manipulating abilities, new ways to score, and paths that lead to aiding a competitor for a later payoff or hindering that competitor for immediate gratification. VivaJava Dice also offers a unique system of cooperative dice-rolling that can help you rise to the top, but at the price of someone else riding your coattails.
