In traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremonies, Bereka refers to the third round of coffee — served after the strongest brews, when the coffee is more diluted but people still stay.
It's the round that represents togetherness. Lingering conversation. Friendship, family, and the decision to remain with one another even as the coffee's intensity fades.
Bereka is inspired by that moment. The game isn't about sharp competition or winning quickly — it's about staying, talking, laughing, and sharing stories. Even when the quality of the coffee reduces, the connection deepens.

The initial prototype was written in Amharic through partnership with young creatives in Ethiopia and draws on everyday social dynamics, jokes, and moments.
