Ceylon

In the second half of the nineteenth century, a fungus wiped out Ceylon's coffee plantations, and entrepreneurs started over with tea. In Ceylon (2018) you are one of those pioneers. You build plantations across different districts and altitudes, produce tea, and sell it to export companies. Along the way you need the favor of local counselors and the right technology to get ahead of the competition. The game rewards patient planning: where you plant, who you court and when you sell all feed into your score. It plays two to four, around an hour, and best at four, where the map gets crowded and the contests get sharper.
