Yum Cha is really simple to understand. Collect 3 sets of dim sums cards and 1 pair of tea cards!
10 cards are dealt to each player. All remaining cards are placed in a deck faced down. Players take turns drawing a card from either the deck or any card from the centre. The player then decides which card they want to keep and end their turn by discarding a card into the centre face-up.
Play strategically and collect small, medium, big and dessert dim sums to wrap up the game quickly, or go for glory and collect the super, special and top dim sums to score as many points as possible. You are in control of your own fortune.
A round of Yum Cha ends when a player draws the eleventh card which makes a complete hand, revealing 3 sets of dim sums and 1 pair of tea. When they do so, they announce Yum Cha! and the round ends. A set of dim sums consists of three unique dim sums from the same tier. Duplicate dim sums cannot form a part of a set. A pair of tea consists of two tea cards of the same flavour.
When your parents tell you to cook your own food.
Hot Pot, also called Steam Boat or 火鍋, brings friends and family together over a simmering feast. All the cards are dealt out evenly amongst the players. Players take turn loading up the pot with their favourite ingredients, such as shiitake mushrooms, pork belly, wombok and crabsticks. Keep an eye on what's cooking and scoop them up before anyone else. Wait too long and you might end up with nothing! There's a few action cards thrown into the mix, to spice things up. Stop! It's not cooked yet! Timing is everything if you want to enjoy the perfect meal.
Sharing is caring, but in this game, winning is tastier!
