Here's an interesting conundrum.

1) So much alcohol!

2) So little coffee!

3) How can that be? Is it just to increase the chaos/fun factor of this game?

4) We need more coffee!

The answer is 3.

Plenty of coffee simple means there is no significant risk in taking alcohol for any reason and the core of this game is extremely tense risk management under the layer of manic fun.

This game is not beer and pretzel despite feeling like it playing....its extremely well designed both as a game and as entertainment. Too much coffee would strip both the entertaining theme of drunken gnomes and the balance of the game underneath the fun. Hence, no more coffee please.
