About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! If you're already a fan of Alubari: A Nice Cup of Tea and want to add a little extra spice to your games, these promo cards are just what you need. They were released at Spiel 2019 and bring four additions that boost the base game. Think more equipment options, new ways to interact with the market, and even an assistant to lend you a hand. The vibe is the same as the main game: managing resources, planning your actions with worker placement, and, of course, focusing on production and trade, all with the charm of the tea and train theme.

These cards are perfect for those who already master Alubari's rules and are looking for that variety that makes all the difference. They don't turn the game upside down, but they add an extra flavor, new strategies, and more replayability. If you enjoy medium-weight games where optimizing plays is important, but without being overly complex, these promos will appeal to you. It's like finding a secret new ingredient for your favorite cup of tea: something familiar, but with a special touch that renews the experience. Get ready to further optimize your train routes and tea plantations!
