Chai: High Tea is live (High Tea time)
Update: The High Tea expansion to Chai has launched on Kickstarter, and the campaign will run for 28 days. You may back to get just the expansion or order the Deluxe edition of Chai, or get both. There is also the expensive Tea Master edition which comes in a wooden box.
Our preview post below was published on May 23.
Chai: High Tea is an expansion to the 1-5 player tea trading game, Chai. It will launch on Kickstarter on May 25.
Steeped Games hasn't released much information on it yet, so we'll have to make do with the official description. In the Chai base game, players take on the role of tea merchants competing for the fulfillment of customer orders. In this expansion, an extra double-sided ability board is given to each merchant. These abilities can be performed as optional actions each turn, and when an ability is used, the board is flipped to the other side.
New beverages have been added to the game such as afternoon tea, horchata, and yerba mate, and the expansion rules will be adapted to both solo and cooperative modes.
Yeah it seems expansion adds more of the same thing, I think they are happy w/ the Chai's fan base so they won't be changing anything in complexity department (:
Also I think a 1-2 gamer version of the Chai is coming this year too, more like a racing game between two players. Maybe this one serves a wee bit more challenge for gamers :P
Oh, that sucks. It doesn't seem that the expansion will make the game more challenging.
Chai has a BeautifuL look, super high quality components, soothing drawings but the game itself is sooooo light, I mean it's so easy that I didn't want to play the game for a second time!!
