Ready, set, brew!

How to Play Coffee Rush: Grab & Go

In Coffee Rush: Grab & Go, everyone plays at the same time.

Each player starts with two open drink orders that they need to complete.

When the round begins, it's a race to gather the ingredients you need.

1. Get Your Orders

Each player has orders waiting to be fulfilled.

Look carefully at the ingredients required for each drink and work out what you need to collect.

2. Grab Your Ingredients

On the count of three, everyone starts playing simultaneously.

Using one hand, flip ingredient cards from the shared supply and grab the ingredients you need.

You'll need to work quickly — but carefully.

Coffee beans. Milk. Chocolate. Caramel. Tea. Ice. Water. Steam.

Keep your eyes on your orders and don't lose track of what you've already collected!

3. Complete Your Drinks

Once you've collected the ingredients required for an order, slot them underneath the appropriate order card.

Complete your orders before your opponents and you'll be one step closer to winning.

But speed isn't everything.

A mistake can cost you.

4. Watch Out for Takeout Orders

Takeout Orders add an extra memory challenge.

The ingredients you collect for these orders are placed face down, meaning you'll need to remember what you've collected.

It's no longer enough to be fast.

You need to be fast and accurate.

5. Race to Five Orders

The first player to complete five orders ends the round.

Now it's time to count the revenue you've earned.

Flawless drinks earn their full value, while mistakes and missing ingredients reduce your profits.

Takeout Orders can be particularly lucrative when you get them right.

6. Become the Most Successful Barista

Keep playing rounds and building your revenue.

At the end of the game, the player with the most money wins.

So what's more important?

Speed? Memory? Accuracy?

You'll need all three to become the best barista.

Fast, Frantic and Surprisingly Tricky

Coffee Rush: Grab & Go looks simple.

Grab the ingredients.

Complete the orders.

Make money.

But once everyone starts playing simultaneously, things get much more chaotic!

You're trying to remember which ingredients you need while watching your opponents race to complete their orders.

Then the pressure increases when Takeout Orders force you to rely on your memory.

Can you work quickly without making mistakes?

A Real-Time Game Where Everyone Plays Together

Unlike traditional turn-based card games, Coffee Rush: Grab & Go doesn't make you wait for your opponents.

Everyone plays simultaneously.

That means every round becomes a frantic race against the other players.

You might be one ingredient away from completing your order when another player suddenly finishes theirs.

And when someone completes their fifth order...

Time's up!

Coffee Rush: Grab & Go vs Coffee Rush

Already know Coffee Rush?

Then Grab & Go gives you a different way to enjoy the same caffeinated competition.

The original Coffee Rush is a larger board game where players compete to fulfil orders and build their reputation as the best barista.

Grab & Go strips the experience down into a fast, portable card game.

Instead of a longer board-game experience, you're racing in real time to grab ingredient cards and fulfil orders.

That makes Grab & Go particularly appealing if you're looking for:

• A quicker game.

• A portable game.

• A travel-friendly game.

• A smaller game to take to friends.

• A game that plays in around 15 minutes.

• A frantic game where everyone plays simultaneously.

Take It Anywhere

The Grab & Go format makes Coffee Rush particularly easy to take with you.

Pack it for:

• Holidays

• Weekend breaks

• Family visits

• Camping trips

• Caravan holidays

• Holiday cottages

• Game nights

• Parties

• Trips with friends

• Lunch breaks

• Coffee-shop gaming sessions

If you want a game that doesn't require a large table or a long rules explanation, Coffee Rush: Grab & Go is an excellent choice.

Small box. Big coffee-shop chaos.

The Memory Challenge

Takeout Orders add a clever twist to the game.

Normally, you can see the ingredients you've collected.

With Takeout Orders, those ingredients are placed face down.

Now you need to remember what you've collected.

That means your brain is working almost as quickly as your hands.

See it. Grab it. Remember it. Complete it.

Make a mistake and your profits take a hit.

Speed Isn't Everything

It can be tempting to rush.

After all, Coffee Rush: Grab & Go is a race.

But completing an order quickly isn't necessarily enough.

A drink with missing or incorrect ingredients won't earn its full value.

That creates an interesting balance between speed and accuracy.

Do you:

Rush and risk making mistakes?

Or:

Slow down slightly and make sure everything is correct?

The best barista knows when to do both.
