What is Bereka?

In the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, “bereka” is the third round of coffee. It’s the cup that’s more diluted, but the one people stay for. Bereka Games builds on that idea by creating conversation driven games that bring people together, helping them connect, share stories, and naturally pick up language and culture through play.

Culture, Preserved Through Play

  • Every game is written in an Ethiopian language.

    Every card is written in Amharic - not
    translated, but crafted from the ground up to feel native.

  • Humor is identity.

    The jokes, references, and social dynamics aren't borrowed from Western formats. They're Ethiopian.

  • Storytelling is preservation.

    Games built from lived experience - the moments, debates, and cultural nuances that define us.

The questions hit different when you're actually sitting around with people you love. Felt like a real buna conversation, not just a game.

Took it to a community event not knowing if people would be into it, but ended up being so engaging! People were asking where to buy it before we even finished.
