About the game

What you do in a play session

You are Grosvenor, the maid to the powerful Lady Agatha Smythe, and you have just 15 minutes to prepare a flawless morning tea before 11 o’clock. The problem? The sugar is missing, time is ticking, and your mistress’s reputation is on the line! Elevenses for One is a micro solitaire card game where you must wisely manage your actions to set up the perfect tea trolley before the clock strikes 11. With just 11 cards, each offering specific actions (you can choose to follow or ignore them, but beware the consequences!), the game is a tense and fun puzzle. Can you complete the task in just 15 moves? Perfect for fans of quick games, solo challenges, and, of course, a good cup of tea!
