Tea Garden

The sharp peaks of the Yunnan mountains have started to turn green with a peculiar plant. Whispers speak of its miraculous properties, capable of healing the body and invigorating the soul. It is no wonder that its cultivation is spreading like wildfire to other Provinces.

Answering the emperor’s call, master cultivators converge to establish a population of this marvelous plant in the valleys of the Yangtze River. And a special reward awaits the most able of them all – the promise of fertile lands in the coveted Province of Yunnan.

Take up the challenge and try to extend the expansion of this extraordinary beverage across Greater China and beyond.

Step into the lush landscapes of the Chinese Yunnan Region with Tea Garden, a captivating deck-building and hand management game. As the proud owner of one of the region’s tea gardens, your mission is to cultivate and expand your empire by establishing new tea gardens along the serene river valley.

In Tea Garden, tea leaves are your most prized asset in the game. There are 6 grades of tea quality and each region produces a different quality of tea. Transform your fresh, vibrant green tea leaves through fermentation, elevating them to rich, aromatic brown leaves that only grow in quality as they mature.

Harness the power of your deck of cards to orchestrate up to 4 main actions each game round. The strength of these cards is important for performing the chosen action; the higher the strength, the better effects you will achieve.

With your cards, you will build new tea gardens, acquire new cards, trade your tea with eager caravans, ferment your tea leaves, and harvest more tea. Couple your main actions with the power of secondary actions to navigate the river, produce tea cups, or practice tea studies at the university.
