Thank you for your kind words. The intended way to play is to start with just the ingredients from your shop location (pages 3–4). Most locations have one ingredient, but a few have two, such as the alpine garden.
On page 6 you roll for additional ingredients until you have a total of three supplies.
So, for example, you might start in an expanse of rainbow grasses with a bright gumdrop. Then, on page 6, you roll for more ingredients until you have a three ingredients in your pantry—perhaps bird nest fungi and kawakawa leaf.
That is how I intended the game to be played. But you should feel free to make the rules your own. Enjoy!
Thank you. I was delighted to read this comment. There was so much that I cut from the game to get it into the one-page format. Responses like this make me want to expand it to a much longer zine. 🙏
I am so glad you enjoyed the game. Feel free to print and share with your girlfriend. 🙏
I am working with someone on a Spanish translation of the extended edition at the moment, but it would be great to see what you made. If you're happy to share — and if you have Twitter or Mastodon— please send a direct message on https://twitter.com/springvillager or https://dice.camp/@springvillager and I'll provide my email address :)
Thanks for purchasing the Last Tea Shop. 🙏
We have only translated the free one-page classic edition so far. You can find it in the downloads section of the game page.
This week we started translating the 16-page expanded edition, but it's going to take a bit longer. I'll post an update when it's done and you should just be able to login to Itch and download it. I'm not sure how long this will take as the expanded edition has a lot more text — but we will get there! Thanks again for your support.
Thank you for your comment. I am so glad that enjoyed Last Tea Shop! I was not aware of Under the Whispering Door, but it looks really interesting.
It looks like I uploaded the first version of Last Tea Shop a couple of months before Under the Whispering Door was published— there must have been something in the air!
This sounds great. Do you have twitter? If so, DM me at @springvillager and we can have a chat. :)
Send me the text and I can do a layout. If it's okay with you, I'll check the final with both yourself and a French colleague.
If you have Twitter, DM https://twitter.com/springvillager and I'll send you my email address. :)
I add a community copy for every sale. I updated the free copies last night following a most recent handful of sales, but those seem to have gone. I will add more as they become available.
The classic version is available for free.
Thank you so much. It means a lot.
Earlier this week, I published the expanded zine edition. I hope people like it.
A publisher has approached me to ask if I would be interested in doing a limited print run of the expanded version and we are talking through the details. I hope I have more to share soon.
