Using the officially licensed caricatures from the original board game, you’ll find that not every guest wants to sit next to each other in Café International. So it’s up to you to keep everyone happy, by seating them at the right tables, according to their nationality and gender to score maximum points.

Every puzzle fan will simply love Café International! Although the rules are straightforward and the game is easy to play, it’s sure to challenge even the most strategically gifted minds. To be awarded maximum points, you’ll need to clear as many tables as possible by really thinking about where to seat your randomly chosen guest cards…

Café International is packed with endless fun – it’s the perfect way to test your strategic might against friends, family and colleagues!

With a medium-sized and variable floorplan, this version offers not only the best possible overview about the available tables, but also revives all the well-known elements of the boardgame, like the bar and the Jokers.

Café International Reviews

Lord do we love this app and the real game. If you like a game that is laid back, easy to play, but is a strategic game that does the math and rules for you in a playful way, give this a gotheres a reason it won awards in real life (and is still in print). A great game and a wonderful digital version that has a dedicated solo mode included with it. Try closing two tables at once and pick up major points.


Nice version of an obscure spiel de jahres winner.

The game play is okay. Its insulting that Africa is deemed a country rather than a continent (containing more countries than Europe). Its hard to distinguish between the male & female wild cards. Both probably reflect the original game. The app is easy to use.


We love the game but the voices are so stereotypical of cultures that it becomes infuriating.


This is a very clever card game. Super easy to learn and play, but it does take some strategic thinking. We play solo, and we love that there are different options for solo: solitaire, or against the AI, which is very smart. Everything works flawlessly. And we appreciate the fair price with no ads or IAP. Im glad there are good developers like this out there. This is one of our favorite phone card games now. The only thing to be aware of is, on a phone, the flag icons on the cards are very small. Once youre more familiar with the cards, however, that becomes less of an issue. Still, many people would probably prefer this on an iPad, especially if eyesight is an issue. Thanks for a great game!


Of a great card game version of a cool board game. Asynchronous play works great, too!


Love the game! Played on our iPad for a year, then discovered version for the iPhone.


Love to play in solo mode or against others. It is always a fun event.


Fun game, like others better but great when you need some alone time to play. Enjoy it on our 3hr car ride. Fun!


Great time killer. A hidden gem.


Absolutely love this game. Loved it as board game and love the iPad version although the board game is still a more flexible in the rules. Still don’t regret the $5, well worth it.


We love this game! Good challenge but not impossible . However the last update took away the ability to see how many you have discarded into bar. Hope they fix it soon.


Some changes in IOS 8 broke our daily addiction, but thanks to this update, myself and our friends and family are back to swapping moves and snide comments in the Cafe with only a small hiatus! If you enjoy board games be sure to buy this one. It is simple to learn and fun to play, whether against the computer or real people via Game Center.


Love this game! Easy to pick up. We can play it with our 4 yr old daughter, and since a big component is noticing matches, she can play it without trouble, but the adults still think it we fun. Good mix of skill and luck of the draw that she can even win sometimes!


Simple game play yet very addicting game. We had not heard of this game but gave it a play and we are pleasantly surprised. This is very fun way to pass the time. Very fun.


This is one of the few iPad games that we can show to and play with anyone and have a good time.. Our Mom, our nieces and our co-workers. Technically, the app is excellent too. Highly recommended.


Great game to play with family and friends. You can chat over brunch. Easy to learn and clever.


This game is Internationally addicting. As a retired math teacher and educational consultant, we must say it is a wonderful strategic game that is uncomplicated and easy to learn. It could easily be used in a classroom to promote logical thinking!!


Very interesting mix of probability and strategy.


We really love this game. It is very exciting to play, even by yourself. Very easy to learn and hard to put down! We highly recommend this card game. Would love to see more exciting card games like this one.


We’ve played only the Classic (solitaire) mode, but enjoy it very much.


We had never played the board or card game before, but our family (kids 16, 14 and 12) caught on quickly and have played this almost constantly in the few days we’ve had it – this is an awesome family game that’s just the right level to require some thinking, but anyone can enjoy it and win!


We can’t stop playing this game, challenging and worth every cent.


If you like the board game, you will like this.


This is not the board game. It is the card game version. While we love the board game, we think the card game works best as a two player. As a four player, the random table placement and variability of the cards adds an extreme amount of luck in the table and guest card draws. It’s a good distraction, but we would still prefer the board game over the card game.


Alright, our 3 stars might look mean, but we have to admit that we really enjoy the game in single player. Note that we mentioned "single player", because the multiplayer is messed up; it shows different scores over the multiple devices that are used, and it won’t let us invite more than one person, which is very upsetting. Well otherwise it is a great game.


Great app, fun game, well done async multiplayer.


This game is so much fun!! Worth every penny!


The new update addressed the things we listed below. THANK YOU!! Game back to looking great, rating back to 5 stars! This is a fun game to play! And, it looks great! Previous update introduced these things – rating went to 3 -big wooden button is out of place, does not go with the style design of the game. A button is nice, but please modify its appearence. -card display for all players looks bad. Can’t even see the cards and need to click anyway to determine what they are. The old display was better/nicer looking. This game is not that strategically challenging that you HAVE to know the players cards at all times. Please make it an option to revert to old style if desired.


We enjoy playing this game on bretspielwelt and we were very pleased to see an iOS version. The various game modes are fun and add some challenge.


Great app, very well done. 3 game modes with tons of gameplay offered. Eagerly anticipating the multiplayer update. This is one of our most played apps.


So thrilled to see this when it was released. Love the board game and love the iPad version.


We have the card game version of this, so am happy to be able to now play this solo. It is quite challenging. Finding the correct sequence for playing our available plays is going to require more practice. It’s great that the app is there to stop us from making illegal moves (a more perceptive opponent is required in real life). The design is very clean and functional. We hope that others check this out and are able to have some fun with it.


Needs: – Online multiplayer (synchronous, pease!) – Differentiation between the patron and flag icons. It should be easier to quickly scan the cafe to see which flags are present. Maybe different sizes? Icon borders? …


We love the fact we got to add this to our collection of iPad board games! Please keep the coming!


…. Except where is the homo variant? We love playing that version. Perhaps too controversial?
