About the game
Feeling hungry while trying to relax with a cup of tea? The "Something Sweet" expansion for "A Nice Cuppa" has the answer! With just 5 new cards, this little gem adds a variety of delicious sweets to your game, perfect for a quick energy boost while you prepare your drink. But beware, player: finish your snack before you sit down to enjoy your tea, or you'll pay the price!

To play, it's simple: shuffle the new sweet cards and place them nearby. One will be removed from the game without you seeing it. On your turn, instead of swapping two tea cards, you can choose to reveal the top sweet card and resolve its effect immediately. Each sweet has a special power that can flip, rearrange, or mess with your tea cards and worries in an interesting way. The extra challenge? At the end of the game, you lose points for each sweet left "uneaten." It's an expansion that adds a sweet and strategic touch, maintaining the simplicity and speed of the base game, perfect for those who enjoy a quick, thematic solo game.
