Who it's for

Players who want real set collection decisions wrapped in a warm, absurd theme with room to needle each other.

Not for you if…

You want a purely constructive engine where nobody can blow up the cards you were saving.

Vibe's take

Silly and sharp at once – the set collection is genuinely tight, but the cannon, monkey and parrot keep dropping little bombs into everyone's carefully laid plans.

About this game

A pirate crew competes to serve their Captain the finest afternoon tea, matching dishes to tea cards over nine rounds while cheerfully smashing plates together to invent pairings that somehow still work.
