The Japanese tea ceremony is a spiritual and servile tradition. Offering a beautiful cup of matcha to your guests is a profound display of culture, ceremony, and respect. In the Matcha card game, players aim to gather the tea - ceremony utensils (chadogu) by matching tea - ceremony (otemae) cards on the table. You can match them by number (1 - 4) or suit (tea, water, bowl, & scoop). Cards are played secretly, and sometimes not matching can be a smart move. With just 18 otemae cards and various chadogu tokens, Matcha offers a lot of strategic fun as players decide when and where to play their cards.

To play the Matcha game, first, lay out the otemae cards on the table. Each player gets a set of cards secretly. Try to match the cards on the table either by their number or suit to collect the chadogu tokens. Remember, you can also choose not to match if it gives you an advantage. As you play, keep in mind that strategic timing is key. When storing the game, keep the cards in a dry place to prevent them from getting damaged. Avoid bending the cards or getting them wet. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a dry cloth. Have fun exploring the world of the Japanese tea - ceremony through this game!
