Read the full game description

Tea Witches is a colorful worker-placement game about running a magical tea hut across the four days of the Teaquinox Faire. Each day opens with simultaneous push-your-luck summoning: reveal witches into your queue, but stop before duplicate customers trigger a hex and send part of the crowd away. The service phase turns to contested TeaPup placement. Hollow pup tokens carry tea from a rotating crystal fountain, visit Bootiques for toppings and upgrades, attract Celebri-Teas, brew Special-Teas, and help fulfill shared to-go orders. Purchased tiles slot into the chicken-legged tea hut to improve storage and create new efficiencies, while loyal customers, money, coupons, events, and fair objectives provide overlapping prestige routes. The central fountain makes timing and spatial access matter as much as engine growth. After four rounds, the vendor who best balanced risk, queue management, worker timing, and a highly upgraded service line wins the faire.
