About the game

What you do in a play session

Brew your tea and care for your Tea Dragon in this cute and cozy card game, inspired by the graphic novel 'The Tea Dragon Society'. Here, each player has their own deck representing their dragon. Over four seasons, from spring to winter, you'll decide whether to draw a card to activate cool effects and strengthen your position, or buy a new card to boost your deck and score points. The goal is to create an ever-stronger bond with your dragon, collecting memories and, of course, accumulating the most points by the end of the game. It's a very relaxed experience, with deck-building and card-buying mechanics that evolve as you play. The art is a standout, super charming, and the theme is light and relaxing. Perfect for those who enjoy games with a more contemplative feel, a touch of luck, and a unique and adorable theme. If you like games that make you feel good and unwind, this one's for you! You can play with friends or family, at a pleasant pace that isn't tiring. The fun lies in watching your little dragon grow and your deck become more powerful. Ready for some tea and a game?
