During the second half of the nineteenth century in what was then Ceylon, today known to all as the nation of Sri Lanka, a deadly fungus killed off all the coffee plantations on the island thus causing a serious economic crisis.

Aside from wine, cheese, a wide variety of carbohydrate based snacks and perhaps chocolate, there are few things that supplement a board gaming session as well as copious amounts of tea. Games that handle the subject of actually cultivating and shipping tea are few and far between, but Ceylon (from publisher Ludonova) is one such title that looks beautiful and plays in a fast, fluid manner, whilst simultaneously delivering complex choices that require considerable forward planning. bigbossbattle.com/ceylon-review-time-for-tea/ (Big Boss is also the site which provided my background board game.)
