📖 About This Game

Ginza Retro Café (銀座ロマン喫茶) is a dice-heavy game about being waitresses in a classic Japanese café, working together to serve customers while competing for individual popularity. Half the game is dice management - roll and manipulate your dice to spend them to serve specific dishes, or use them to buy coins that improve your dice-manipulating abilities. The other half is the constant tug-of-war between cooperation and competition, as each customer orders 2-3 dishes and stays for 2 rounds. If all of a customer's orders are served in time, everyone gain points based on the dishes they each served and regain the action(s) used to serve them; but if a customer leaves before then, the served dishes are lost! Can you cooperate to provide ideal customer service while competing to become the most popular waitress?
