Tea Garden (CZ) – Cultivate the Ancient Art of Tea Growing

Product detailed description

Tea Garden is a strategic game set in ancient China, created by a Czech author. Players take on the role of tea growers, competing to establish their tea plantations in the Yunnan region. The game involves expanding tea plantations by building new gardens along the river valley.

Tea Garden combines deck-building, resource management, and action selection in an elegant and organic way. Using cards, you will build tea gardens in various provinces, study the art of tea growing, harvest and ferment the tea, and sell it to caravans or take it down the Yangtze River.

The game offers a variety of strategic options, quick turns, and accessible rules. A unique mechanism of tea aging adds depth: fresh tea loses quality over time, while fermented tea improves. The freedom to combine primary and secondary actions brings a fresh breeze to the world of strategy games.
