## Description
In *Chai: Tea for 2*, you and your opponent are tea merchants in a delicious race to deliver the world’s finest brews. Use dice as workers to harvest, process, and deliver exotic teas like matcha, bergamot, and pu'er. Each round is a new season, with chances to upgrade your plantation, fulfill lucrative contracts, and collect special teas. The game ends when someone completes 3 to 5 contracts (you set the difficulty), and bonus points come from crates, tableau bonuses, and each merchant’s unique abilities. With dice placement, set collection, and pick-up-and-deliver mechanics, it’s a quick (30-45 min) game packed with strategic choices. Perfect for fans of thematic games with tight mechanics and a dash of dice luck.
