Alphabet Board Games: D


 Darjeeling

I love tea games and this one is the best in my collection. Gathering tea in the field and selling it on the boats. The longer they stay on the boats, the more points you'll accumulate. So it forces other players not to hoard their stash (for a one time big payout) because every turn that goes by, the boats earn you more and more points. 

The game goes from slow paced and "blink and its over" after a few turns. I love that. You can do extra movements by losing points, which you never do in the beginning. But towards the end you're like "Hmmm...I can lose 7 points on this turn, just to get that one tile"

It's a beautiful game with lovely wooden pieces too. I love everything about it.
