The tea ceremony lies at the heart of Japanese culture, giving life the most essential and elemental concepts of hospitality, respect, and Zen philosophy. There, they believe that tea, which came from China in the 13th century, resolved the health problems of the Buddhist monks who drank it. Over the years, the tea ceremony evolved to offer the samurai a place of calm, far from the chaos of the battlefield.

With the Matcha expansion, your games of White Castle will now include another way in which to influence the court using new members of your clan. Place members of your clan wisely in the Chashitsu (tea room) to help you achieve a greater level of influence within the court of Himeji. You'll also experience new rules to expand actions.

Note: This is not a standalone game. A copy of The White Castle is required to play.
