7: Play the Bubble Tea Board Game
If you thought bubble tea was just a delicious drink from Taiwan, think again. Now, you can play a fun board game with friends or at a party dedicated to this delicious drink. The game is not only fun but requires players to pay attention to succeed.
Each player has two cards, also known as cups, and then there are nine boba or ingredient cards. One player will use the shaker and dice to determine which ingredients are needed to create the bubble tea drink needed.
Once you know which ingredients are needed, the person who compiles the three ingredients needed the fastest wins the game. You can continue to play the game for however long you want. But the best part is that it doesn’t take forever to finish like many other popular party games.
