Elevenses is a card game where respectable 1920s socialites strive to serve the finest morning teas!

Each player begins the round with an identical set of eleven morning tea cards. Each card has a point value as well a special action which must be executed when it is played. The lower the point value on a card, the better its power. The powers can lead to surprising interactions between the players! Cards have to also be played to a specific position on the table. Everytime a card is played, in most cases you pick up the card that was previously in its position, requiring you to plan your morning tea carefully!

The round ends when someone plays the "Elevenses" card. It's tea time! Players compare the value of their cards. Points are given to the highest scoring morning teas. The game continues until a player has at least 7 points. The individual has served the finest morning teas of all and wins the game!

The six-card expansion Elevenses: The Special Guests is also included in the game. With this expansion, each player is dealt a special guest card in secret at the start of each round. Each guest will only come to your morning tea if you serve certain things. If you play the right combination of morning tea cards, the special guest arrives, you reveal the card, and your morning tea goes up in value!
