About Chai

In Chai, you will step into the shoes of a tea merchant, combining tea flavors to make a perfect blend. Specializing in either rooibos, green, oolong, black or white tea, you will buy and collect ingredients to fulfill your customers’ orders.

Each turn you can choose to either visit the tea market, the pantry or to reserve a customer and use an ability.

Visiting the tea market
There are 6 different tea flavor tiles. Mint, Jasmine, Lemon, Ginger, Berries and Lavender.
When you choose this action you will gain a gold coin with the value of three.
Spent at least one coin on the market to purchase tea flavor tiles. But you can only have 12 of them stored in your tea house!
If the flavor tile is touching tiles of the same type these tiles are also taken (only vertically or horizontally).
Think strategically! After each purchase the remaining flavor tiles will slide to the left.
After the turn the market will get refilled.

Visiting the pantry
The pantry offers you Milk, Honey, Vanilla, Chai Spices and Sugar to refine your tea orders.
If you choose this action you can pick up to three items that are currently available, or/and blindly draw a random tile from the pantry bag.
If your tea house has more than six pantry items you will have to discard them down to this number.
After the turn the pantry will be replenished.

Reserving a customer and using an ability card
Do you have a customer order from the visible customer pool in mind that you would like to take on and don’t lack many ingredients to fulfill it? Maybe choosing to reserve this customer would be a good choice! You can also reserve a customer blindly from the deck. Either way, up to three customer orders can be reserved for your tea house.
After reserving a customer you may choose to use one of the ability actions. For example, to take one pantry item from the pantry for free.

At the end of one of these actions you may fulfill one customer order from the customer pool or from the orders you reserved. Check what ingredients they want and use your tea house stock to fulfill it! If your tea house specialization doesn’t match the customer orders color (e.g Rooibos = Red but you are specialized in Oolong = Blue) you maybe need to buy a tea token from one of your opponents with this color to fulfill it.

The game ends when 5 rounds have been completed.
Add your money and points from completed customer orders to determine the best tea merchant!

The description doesn’t mention so I thought I should start by saying that, besides the traditional game, the app also implements 3 variants: Connoisseur, Solo and Coop (see the manual for details). It also has tooltips, undo, and detailed statistics (including local games against Ais, per AI level and number of players), which so many apps fail to provide. The game can be played locally (against a friend or 1 to 4 3-level Ais), and online (I don’t usually play online games, so I haven’t tested it). I played the tutorial and a couple of games against 2 Ais just to get used to it. I didn’t notice any bugs during these games. The game is fairly simple, but if you, like me, was not familiar with the boardgame, note that you can (and usually should) make more that one buy when visiting the tea market (in this case, the order of the buy is very important to maximize your result, as the remaining tiles slide to the left after you take one or more tiles). Also remember to change the UI from Mobile to PC (in Settings) so the app will make better use of the computer screen.

More than solid implementation with many game variants, matchmaking, lobby, etc. Graphically somewhat limited, gameplay very good. Those who already know games from Digidiced actually know what they will get here and will not be disappointed.

I did not know this board game when I first bought it, but it was easy to learn and very quick to get into. This is not a complicated or lengthy game -- there are five rather short rounds and each each game lasts about 20 to 30 minutes top. My husband and I love to play it together (using Steam's Remote Play Together feature -- it works fine). Note that I have not tried to play against the AI, but there are several levels to choose from, going from easy to hard -- no idea how they perform though. You can mix human players with AIs as you wish. The interface is well done and easy to use, and there's a prompt at the bottom of the screen always showing what's next to do, so you never get lost. Bottom line: we love it! This is a nice board game to get if you want something relaxing , easy, and quick.

I found it to be a very fun and very interesting game. Good for Asynchronous multiplayer. Unfortunately they dont give you much time as with Terra Mystica, Isle Sky and Burgundy. And I have to work and travel a lot and my laptop is a klunker. Rating 9/10
