Elevenses – The Morning Tea Card Game ☕🍰🫖
THE KETTLE'S ON. MAY THE FINEST SPREAD WIN.
Step back into the 1920s, where respectable socialites compete to lay out the most impressive morning tea before the clock strikes eleven. Every player starts each round with the same hand of morning tea cards – sandwiches, cakes, biscuits and of course the tea – each with a point value and a special action. Place your cards in just the right spots on the table, swap them around at the right moment, and when someone finally serves Elevenses, the best-scoring spreads take the points. Keep going until one host claims the title of finest tea party in town.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
🫖 EVERYONE STARTS EQUAL
All players get an identical set of cards each round, so it comes down to timing and clever play rather than the luck of the draw.
⚖️ A CLEVER TRADE-OFF
Cards worth fewer points have stronger actions, so you're always deciding between a handy power and a better score.
⏰ WHEN TO CALL TIME
The round ends when someone plays the Elevenses card – go too early or too late and your spread may come up short.
