Watch “(UnPub Day) Coffee Traders 4p Teaching, Play-through, & Round table by Heavy Cardboard,” a gameplay video for Coffee Traders on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Heavy Cardboard on YouTube:
Welcome to Heavy Cardboard's monthly UnPub Day! We choose one day per month to highlight a currently unpublished game (possibly not even signed by a publisher). Hopefully this helps highlight the game for possible publishers while also 'pulling back the curtain' a little for folks to see some of the behind-the-scene designing & developing that goes into the games that they play!
Enjoy and leave a comment below!

About Coffee Traders, from BoardGameGeek:
Thousands of coffee farmers all over the world support their families by using small stretches of hillside land for their coffee plantations. Farmers work day in and day out for very little, but the future of coffee farming is bright. Fair Trade organizations strive to improve living conditions for these farmers by helping them set up cooperatives. This enables them to establish better pricing agreements and take out loans for new plantations, all to help provide education and improve the quality of their lives, families, societies, and environment.
In Coffee Traders, set in 1970s Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, the delicious Arabica coffee beans farmers harvest are sold in Antwerp - and all over the world - to coffee roasters large and small. Work with your competitors to develop the regions you see fit for the best coffee beans while keeping a watchful eye on the market. Construct buildings to help your Fair Trade coffee plantations thrive while enhancing your network for trading coffee. Will your plantations fall to ruin, or will you rise to the top and become the world's greatest coffee trader?
