Read the full game description
A Nice Cuppa is a solo eighteen-card puzzle about preparing tea while everyday worries compete for attention. Eight Tea cards form a line, each with a focused and distracted side, while Worry cards enter play and attach themselves to parts of the brew. On a turn, the player chooses a limited manipulation—swapping cards, flipping focus states, or using the current Tea card’s effect—to move the drink toward completion without letting distraction spread. The active position advances relentlessly, turning the small tableau into an action queue that must be planned several steps ahead. After eight turns, the quality of the finished cup and the worries left unresolved determine the score. Its wallet-sized deck creates a calm presentation with a genuinely tight spatial challenge.
