Chai Garam

Players run a busy tea stall on a rainy day, juggling ingredient gathering, cooking, and serving specific chai-and-snack orders to a grid of customers. On a turn, each player takes one mandatory action: draft up to three ingredients or serve prepared tea to customers and collect payment. Free actions let players cook tea, contest goals to raise their star rating, attract customers to their stall, or play a special card to take a double action. The game ends when an evening customer appears or a player reaches five stars; the highest total of money plus star value determines the winner.
