Welcome to the giraffes’ elegant tea party ! Serve up some delicious tea !
The gameplay is like trick-taking X shedding. You combine cards from your hand (which can’t be rearranged) to to make drinks and serve them !

Similar to Scout, cards cannot be moved within your hand; they must be played in sets. If you correctly follow the dealer’s lead, the player who played the most cards of that type may discard three cards from their current play. Players who followed but played fewer cards may discard one card. You are not required to match the exact drink type of the lead when playing, but if you choose not to play, you cannot discard any cards.

After discarding 3 or 1 card(s) from the current play, the remaining cards are placed face-down as the stock pile.

As your hand dwindles, it becomes harder to follow the dealer’s order. You cannot pass, you must play using other methods. In that case, naturally, you cannot discard any cards.

When you run out of cards, shuffle the stock pile and use it as your new hand so the game doesn’t end immediately.

What cards should you keep, and in what proportions ?
