Read the full game description
The Tea Dragon Society Card Game adapts Kay O’Neill’s gentle graphic-novel world into an accessible deck-building game. Each player begins with a Tea Dragon whose personal deck represents the bond growing between caretaker and creature. On a turn, a player either draws a card to use its effect or spends resources to buy a new card from the shared market. Better cards make the deck more efficient and help collect valuable memories as the table advances from spring through winter. The pace is calm but choices matter: taking an immediate benefit can delay the long-term cards that score best at year’s end. After the fourth season, the player with the most points from cards and memories wins.
