In Tea & Rum, strive for victory by serving the Crown or by becoming the greatest King of Pirates! Within 5 rounds, upgrade your resources and carefully place and un-place your workers to fulfill your ambitions. Will you prove your allegiance to the Crown, or will you join the rebellion and rule the Island? Be careful to keep your intentions hidden: angering the Crown or the people could compromise your chances. At the end of the game, only two players will win the game… and two will be defeated.
- CHOOSE CROWN OR REBELLION: Pursue victory by serving the Crown or joining the rebellion to become the greatest King of Pirates, keeping your true intentions hidden from your rivals.
- STRATEGIC WORKER PLACEMENT: Carefully place and un-place your workers while upgrading resources and pursuing your ambitions across five rounds of strategic gameplay.
- KEEP YOUR ALLEGIANCE SECRET: Conceal your intentions as you navigate competing loyalties, because angering the Crown or the people could compromise your plans and your chance at victory.
- ONLY TWO PLAYERS CAN WIN: Every decision matters as alliances and ambitions collide. At the end of the game, only two players will emerge victorious while two others are defeated.
- OUTWIT YOUR RIVALS: Ideal for players who enjoy strategic board games featuring hidden intentions, resource management, worker placement, shifting allegiances, and direct player interaction.
