Wow! This is great. I'm consistently impressed by the creative ways people adapt Last Tea Shop. Thank you for sharing this with me, and best of luck with your writing!

Thank you playing Last Tea Shop and taking the time to write this message. I am glad that it played a positive role during difficult times.

Be well, my friend. May sleep come easy.  <3

Hi. Thanks for your question. I usually add community copies once a month or so. I updated the pool a few days ago, but it looks like they are all gone. I will update the community copies again in the next couple of weeks.

I am so glad to hear that. Thank you.
When I was working with the rules, I found the same thing. I would start with just write a line or two for the first visitors, but the detail and references accumulated and, soon I was filling pages.

Just updated the community copies.

I am so glad you like it. I am very fond of Daisy too and love to know that she appears in other peoples' games.

I am really glad that you enjoyed Last Tea Shop. Thank you for commenting. 🍵

Thank you for your comment. I am really glad that it connected. 🙏

Thank you. That means a lot. I don't get to spend as much time as I would like making games, but there are a couple of things in development that I hope to release over 2025 and 2026. Comments like this really help motivate me!

I am really glad the game connected with you. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. It made my day.

I spent a lot of time trying to work an end condition into the tiny ruleset. I'm really glad it landed for you. :)

Thanks for your comment and for your support over the years. Glad you like this small game!

I just replied. 🍵

Oh wow! These are incredible. Is there a way I can get in touch with you? My bluesky is https://bsky.app/profile/springvillager.bsky.social

I am finishing up an update to Last Tea Shop, which I'll publish in a few days. Revisions to the cover, backpage, layout and text—mostly clarifications and typos.

Wow, thank you for sharing your journey with the game! It means so much to hear how it resonated with you, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed the experience. 

I have updated the community copy pool. :)

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am so glad you had those experiences. Means the world to me. :)

What a delight! Thank you so much for sharing the experience you had with your class. This made my day. :)

Last Tea Shop Classic and Last Tea Shop Expanded Edition are both complete games. Expanded Edition has many more visitors, teas, environment, along with some additional rules. 🍵

Thank you. 🙏
The first printed editions were made by a third party with permission. I have never actually received a copy and the vendor no longer sells them. I have considered doing a limited print run through crowdfunding, although I am unsure how much interest there is. :) 

Apologies. I have had this tab open for days meaning to reply. Thank you so much for this offer. I would love to see what you made. A wonderful person has already translated the Expanded Edition into Spanish, but I only got a third of the way through the layout before life getting in the way. Let me know how to get in touch and we can talk more. :)

Just updated. New community copies available. :)

This is amazing. Thank you so much for writing up your experience and sharing what happened in class. I especially love that the students were researching the various plants and fungi. What a delight! 

I have not but it sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing!

 🙏

Thank you for sharing this. I hope you meet the mouse too!

Thank you. I am so glad that you like the game. :)

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Comments like this one are why I made this game.

I think you are right about swapping the tea maker and the visitors for two player games. Some of the best playthroughs I've encountered do this.

This is one of my favourite journalling games, so I was excited to see an update. I just dipped into the new seasons and playbooks and... wow. It all looks so good.
Thank you for expanding Lighthouse!

I am so please that you enjoyed Last Tea Shop. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words. I am glad the game resonated with you. :)

I am sorry for my slow reply. Please feel free to print and share for local sessions and classes. Let me know how it goes!

Sorry for the slow reply. Feel free to work on an Italian translation. Someone else has produced one that I will try to find and link here.

Thanks! I have not read "Under the Whispering Door", but it looks really interesting. Both the book and the game came out around the same time in 2021. I like a strange coincidence.

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 so much for your comment. I hope you enjoy the tea shop and its visitors.

I am so pleased. Thank you for writing and letting me know. Comments like this are why I make these games. :)
