Read the full game description

The card game version of the 1989 Spiel des Jahres boardgame "Café International". Five table cards are laid out to form the "Café". Players then place 1 to 3 guest cards from their hand to the Café scoring points for placement. Bonuses are given if only 1 nationality is seated at a given table. Once a table is full all the guests and the table itself are removed from play and a new table is put in it's place from the table draw pile. Multiple scoring opportunities occur when a guest card is placed between tables with several guests at each.
