As the proud owner of one of the tea gardens in the the Chinese Yunnan region, your mission in Tea Garden is to cultivate and expand your empire by establishing new tea gardens along the serene river valley. Tea leaves are your most prized asset, with six grades of tea quality and each region producing a different quality of tea. Transform your fresh, vibrant green tea leaves through fermentation, elevating them to rich, aromatic brown leaves that grow in quality — and value! — as they mature. Harness the power of your deck of cards to orchestrate up to four main actions each game round. The strength of these cards is important for performing the chosen action; the higher the strength, the better the effects you will achieve. With your cards, you will build new tea gardens, acquire new cards, trade your tea with eager caravans, ferment your tea leaves, and harvest more tea. Couple your main actions with the power of secondary actions to navigate the river, produce tea cups, or practice tea studies at the university.

In Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar - Tribes & Prophecies, each player now becomes the leader of a particular tribe, each of which has a special ability that only that player can use. The game includes 13 tribes to provide plenty of variety. (You know that 13 is a spooky and magical number, right?) With this expansion, the game of Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar is also influenced by three prophecies that are revealed ahead of time and fulfilled when the time is right. These prophecies give players other opportunities to score points, but they can also lose points if they don't prepare themselves for the prophecy effects. As with the tribes, the expansion includes 13 prophecies. (Woohoo, 13 again!) This expansion also has new buildings and components that allow up to five players to compete.

This item is a pre-order item with an expected release date of May 2026 Orders containing a pre-order items WILL NOT SHIP until the final pre-order item is able to be shipped. Dates and product details are subject to change as new information from the manufacturer is updated. The Puer expansion enhances the game with Court of Nobles, enriching your options with two new main actions - bringing the total to seven, and the special Imperial decrees then bring even more complexity to the game and expand your strategic choices. As a first new action you can visit the Court, for which you'll use the new Courtier meeples. The halls of the Court not only bring immediate bonuses but also points at the end of the round if you hold the majority there. The second new action is the puer market - featuring pieces that can be linked together to earn bonuses not only from newly added pieces, but also from previous ones. Careful planning is therefore much desirable. In addition, completed puers also help to earn points at the end of the game. It is necessary to be prepared for the fact that the complexity of the Tea Garden increases quite significantly with this expansion, and the time required to play the game is also a bit longer than without it. The Puer expansion also contains components for Solo play.
