Board Description

Seattle is sleepless! It seems there's an independent coffee shop on every street corner. Use your wit and power to rule the city as a monopolistic bean baron!

Mostly standard rules apply except that:

Coffee Shops (Coffee Mug Icons) are Capitals. If you take over any coffee shops and then lose them all, you are out of the game. Unit assimilation is 100%.

Bonuses are granted for having a coffee shop and all of the territories surrounding it. The bonus is equal to the number of adjacent territories. Some continents overlap.

Minimum bonuses and per/territory bonuses are fairly high for the setup. This game should be fast paced and jittery.
