Description

Darjeeling is a fun and strategic board game where 2 to 5 players compete to collect and ship tea. The game is easy to learn, and players take turns moving their marker through an array of squares, picking up tea crates and trying to assemble whole crates to make shipments. The goal is to earn victory points, which can be awarded in several ways, including a demand award, a bonus for large shipments, and ongoing points for each shipment. As players make shipments, they are placed in a column on the board, and the position of each shipment determines the points awarded at the start of each turn. The game is a race to 100 points, and players need to be vigilant to prevent a runaway leader from taking over. With its simple rules and modular board, Darjeeling offers a unique and engaging gaming experience that's perfect for fans of economic and farming games.
