Introduction:
You and your fellow players are warlords of the Sengoku period, invited to a series of tea ceremonies hosted by tea master Sen no Rikyu (千利休). Show off your best tea pots (茶器, chaki) and keep an eye out for Rikyu’s energy (テンション, tension). The winner will be the one who has taken just the right amount of tea snacks (茶菓子, chagashi).
Gameplay summary:
Over the course of four rounds, players will play tea pot cards to the table clockwise. The player with the highest-valued tea pot will draw tea snack cards, which will be drafted counter-clockwise. The winner is the player who has claimed a number of tea snacks closest to the total value of winning tea pot cards, without going under.
