Formosa Tea
Players run tea estates in 19th–20th century Taiwan, cultivating and processing leaves for domestic and international markets. Each game spans four rounds during which players place and advance workers to harvest, process (dehydrate and scent) and retrieve tea, then sell finished product to different markets. Decisions center on worker placement and timing to improve processing techniques and maximize tea quality. Players score prestige points for successful cultivation, processing upgrades, and sales; the highest prestige total after four rounds wins.
