About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've ever thought Alubari: A Nice Cup of Tea could use a little something extra, get your mug ready! This small promo card, straight from the 2018 Brettspiel Adventskalender, adds a nice twist to your game. The main highlight is the ability to use tea leaves as if they were iron ore or stone, opening up new strategic avenues for your worker placement. This flexibility can be crucial for optimizing your actions and ensuring you don't get stuck when it matters most. Plus, for that initial boost, you can spend a chai to gain a third worker right at the start of the round, giving you an early tactical advantage. This expansion is ideal for those who already enjoy Alubari and are looking for a fresh touch without overcomplicating the rules. It's a subtle addition, but it can make a noticeable difference in your game, especially if you enjoy optimizing every move and exploring new synergies. Language dependency is minimal, making it easy to integrate, and the impact on playtime is almost unnoticeable. If you own Alubari and want a little upgrade, this promo is a great find!
