Chai (Deluxe Edition)

Players take the role of tea merchants who specialize in a base tea type and collect ingredients to fulfill customer orders. On a turn a player visits the market, selects additives, or reserves a customer, then may complete one customer order by placing the required base tea, flavor tokens, and additives into a cup. Completed orders yield tips, coins, and victory points; filling cups advances a communal tracker and five full rounds end the game. Victory points come from fulfilled orders, money, and awards, and the highest total wins. The deluxe edition adds extra cards, wild ingredient tiles, unique customer tips, and new ability cards.
