Avatar: an electronic image that represents and is manipulated by a computer user

Your Avatar, is the representation of you, completely under your control that users see when they play with or against you in any of the cafe.com games.  (Again, while in Beta, gold coins are free, so all the upgrades for the avatar are free as well!)

How the avatar looks, dresses, behaves and is situated is completely under your control.

Some people like an avatar that is roughly similar to them in real life, others drastically different.

Take some time and play around with different looks and locals.  Enjoy!

In the future, Cafe.com will go beyond the human world- and allow you to choose avatars of many walks of life!

Tips and Suggestions for New Cafe.com Members

www.Cafe.com is a pretty new site, so I'd like to welcome the new users with some tips. 

1) Make use of the social aspect of the site.  The chat boxes are there for your fun! Let people know you are waiting to play someone in a room, ask the host of a room to start the game, ask fellow gamers for tips on gameplay or just chat away about anything at all!

2) Try out the items!  Especially while we are in "beta" (the testing phase, where everything is free while we work out the bugs).  To get gold coins to purchase items, follow the "get more gold coins" link on the website or in the game hub.  Although there are prices listed, for now they are completely free!!!

These items make gameplay more competitive, by increasing the effect of your play or disrupting the actions of your opponent.  (You can also purchase clothing and scenery for your avatar as well!)

Enjoy, and stop by for more tips later on!
