The board game is replayable and centers around the Great Tea Robbery itself, closely following the historical adventure of Robert Fortune in 1850s China. It’s the closest you can get to retracing his footsteps. Everything is based on real events, and characters are only tweaked to fit the game mechanics better. You’ll encounter all the people and events, both good and bad, that Fortune faced during his quest.
In this game, like Robert Fortune, your objective is to collect tea plants, seeds, and workers, while also gathering various flora during your journey. Your ultimate goal is to transport everything to Calcutta, India, using the least money and in the shortest time. At the end, every valuable flower and plant you’ve gathered will be converted into money.
Why Essential?
The term “Essential” signifies that this is the most basic version of the board game. It will have color, but it will be primarily made of paper and cardboard with simple design, and it won’t feature elaborate tokens or artwork.
Note: The images are rendering for the Kickstarter campaign. The final boardgame design has been updated since this image was created.
