About the game
What you do in a play session
The real game-changer here is the strategic management of new spaces. Positioning your clan members in the right seats in the tea room isn't just about etiquette; it's your path to gaining even greater prestige within the court. And for those who love feeling the clock ticking (or just need an extra breath), this expansion brings a golden bonus: one additional action every single round! This completely shifts the rhythm of your planning and the overall efficiency of your moves.
Additionally, the expansion introduces new components, such as special die tiles featuring the Chasen (matcha whisk) design on the back, allowing for strategic customization right from the setup. It's the kind of content that takes the solid structure of the original game and adds layers of depth that make you wonder, 'how did I live without this before?' If you're looking for more decision-making options and even more refined thematic immersion, Matcha is your mandatory next step. Just remember: to enjoy all this aroma of victory, you'll need the base game on hand. Without it, the ceremony simply won't happen!
