About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are looking for a relaxing game with art that is simply heartwarming, Autumn Harvest: A Tea Dragon Society Card Game is exactly what you need. Based on the adorable universe of the Tea Dragons, this game puts you in the shoes of a caretaker raising these magical creatures through the changing seasons. The core mechanic revolves around deck building: every card you acquire or play represents a step in your dragon's development and the creation of precious memories that score points by the end of the game.

The gameplay flows naturally and intuitively. On each turn, you face simple yet strategic choices: draw a card to strengthen your deck or trigger effects to bolster your position. It is a light-paced experience, perfect for those who want something quick that still rewards smart planning and optimization. The vibe is incredibly cozy, making it an ideal choice for a casual game night with friends or family.

One of the best features is that, while it is a standalone game, it was designed to be fully compatible with the original The Tea Dragon Society Card Game. You can combine both sets to expand your gameplay, allowing up to five players to join the fun. If you enjoy games that are easy to learn but offer a visually stunning and mechanically satisfying experience, this is a title that deserves a spot on your shelf. It is, above all, a game about affection and growth, where the ultimate goal is to celebrate the bonds you have formed with your scaly companions. Brew some tea, gather your friends, and enjoy the harvest!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Do I need the first game to play Autumn Harvest?
Nope! It is a standalone game, so you can play it by itself. However, it is fully compatible if you want to mix it with the original.
How long does a game take?
It is quite snappy, usually taking between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the player count.
Is it hard to learn?
Not at all! With a BGG weight of 1.5, it is very easy to pick up and teach, making it perfect for beginners.
How many players can play?
The base game supports 2-4 players, but if you combine it with the first game, you can play with up to 5 people.

It is very friendly. While there is a winner, the focus is much more on building your own deck and caring for your dragons than on attacking other players.
