In Boba Life, players are bubble tea sellers. Their aim is simple: fill as many orders as possible to earn as much money as possible and become the best seller in Boba City!
Each turn, players choose either to fill the Boba Line by drawing a card, or to collect bubble tea and toppings from the Boba Line in order to fill customer orders... Be clever and vigilant: some bubble teas are out of date and could cost you money!

How to Play ?
Set Up
Bank
Service Line
It serves as a reference point and an aid for the players.
Customer Line
Shuffle the Customer cards, draw five, and place them in a row under the cards.
Boba Line
This line will be supplied with Bubble Tea & Preparation cards and will be called Boba Line.
The last player to drink a bubble tea takes this card and starts the game.
Players play clockwise.
The round is divided into 4 stages!
01
Shop Phase
Players must choose one of the following actions:
(a) Draw a card and feed the Boba line
(b) Take the proper number of cards from the Boba line (according to the selection order)
02
Sales Phase
Once the player has picked up cards from the Boba Line, he goes directly to phase 2. He tries to place orders by completing the Customer Line cards.
-
A single Bubble Tea is all you need to complete a customer card!
-
The Toppings at the bottom of the Customer card can be solved using Preparation cards! A topping gives 2 Bonus points.
Any unused Bubble Tea or Preparation cards stay in the player’s
hand.
03
Expiration Phase
During this phase :
-
All Bubble Tea cards held by the player are rotated 90°.
Once a bubble tea has rotated 180°, it’s expired.
The player pays the bank the amount shown in the lower left-hand corner of the Boba card.
If you keep a card for 1 turn, the bubble tea will soon be expired.
If you don't sell the bubble tea after 2 turns, it expires!
If a player holds a Stinky Boba card, it is now discarded and the player must pay 4 to the bank.
04
End of the player's turn
The player refills the Customer line so that five cards are again
visible. The player is now out until the next round of the game.
Then it’s the next player’s turn!
Always five cards at the end of the player's turn !
End of the game
The game is over when the last Customer card is taken.
Players count their , and the richest player wins the game !
