As in its predecessor, players of VivaJava Dice take on the roles of employees at the VivaJava CoffeeCo., scouring the globe for the best beans to keep the company on top while keeping themselves one step ahead of the rest of the executives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso 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 – using the beans to create a best-seller for quick points, then deciding whether to press their luck in subsequent rounds for bigger points but fewer dice as the blends degrade – or to research, which involves using their valuable 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an astounding mix of plug-and-play research abilities, subtle social play in semi-cooperative mode, and the chance to hog all the glory and blend the best for yourself, VivaJava Dice is all about choice, making each game fast and furiously different.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/u\u003e 1-4\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eSuggested Ages:\u003c\/u\u003e 10 and up\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eLanguage(s):\u003c\/u\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/139899\/vivajava-coffee-game-dice-game\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to BGG.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/BGG_logo.jpg\" style=\"width: 60px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Dice Hate Me","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52047041462621,"sku":"VJ_CDG","price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/2442\/6589\/files\/vivajava.jpg?v=1771319921"},{"product_id":"brew-crafters","title":"Brew Crafters","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's a time of regrowth in the old urban center, and the hippest and best beer crafters have gathered both hops and hopes in building the best brewery in the city.
