Easy to learn, setup and play. One person rolls one die and flips one card that everyone uses (so no claiming that you got the bad cards:) Everyone draws the shape shown on the die in the row, column or grid area specified by the card.

OK … when considering games that are easy to play in a Coffee Shop, it seems appropriate to include a couple COFFEE / TEA games, like this. The game fits in your pocket (literally) and needs very little table space. Plus you can play a full game in 15 minutes – about the time to drink your coffee or tea.

More like a story writing activity than a game, but structured like a game! (Note: I have the “voyages” Dice as well that can be utilized during game play)

When I found out that the coffee shop that I go to (Java Abilities) allows people to play games, I not only created a group of games that would be perfect to play in a coffee shop (quick and easy on a small table), but I included a couple coffee / tea themed games as well.

Perfect game to play while waiting for the others to arrive for your game day! Just a handful of dice that you can roll into the box cover so it needs very little table space. Or just put the dice in your pocket or purse so you can play anytime you have a few minutes to spare!
