Tea Garden Board Game

A Strategy GameTea Garden is a medium-weight euro-style game by Tomáš Holek. Tomáš is technically a debuting author, but at this year’s Spiel he’ll introduce three of his designs – Tea Garden one of them, the other two being SETI from Czech Games Edition and Galileo Galileo from Pink Troubadour. It might be a first time that someone is debuting with three complex strategic games simultaneously.Tea Garden is for 2 to 4 players of age 12 and up with a play time around 90 minutes. It takes you on a journey back to the early days of tea cultivation in ancient China. The basic gameplay mechanism is deck-building. With their cards the players will perform a variety of actions that will allow them to collect victory points. However, one of the most interesting parts is the management of tea leaves themselves (they serve as one of the game’s resources): divided into fresh and fermented - and while the fresh ones lose quality at the end of each round, the fermented ones gain it.Contents:4 player boards28 pagodas32 Worker meeples4 Boat meeples4 Victory Point markers44 Starting cards30 black Cup tokens1 white Round marker1 starting player token24 Scroll tiles30 Emperor tokens18 Region Bonus tokens40 Cup tiles80 Tea Leaf tokens1 game board16 Emperor cards45 Action cards
