Introduction: You and your fellow players are warlords of the Sengoku period, invited to a series of tea ceremonies hosted by tea master Sen no Rikyu (千利休). Show off your best tea pots (茶器, chaki) and keep an eye out for Rikyu s energy (テンション, tension). The winner will be the one who has taken just the right amount of tea snacks (茶菓子, chagashi). Gameplay summary: Over the course of four rounds, players will play tea pot cards to the table clockwise. The player with the highest-valued tea pot will draw tea snack cards, which will be drafted counter-clockwise. The winner is the player who has claimed a number of tea snacks closest to the total value of winning tea pot cards, without going under.
