Tea Garden

Tea Garden: Build a tea empire in ancient China

Tea Garden is a deck-building and management game in which you play as the owners of the first tea plantations in China’s Yunnan region. Throughout the game, you aim to expand your plantations by building new tea gardens in the valley. The game is played over five rounds. Each round, you can perform up to 4 main actions, which are triggered by playing cards from your hand. The cards you play determine the power of these actions and may also allow you to perform secondary actions. Possible actions include expanding your tea plantations, acquiring new cards, harvesting and selling tea, navigating the river, and studying tea.
