Shuffle the new cards and place them nearby, removing one from the deck without looking at it.

Each sweet has a specific effect that flips, rearranges, or otherwise manipulates your teas and worries. At the end of the game, lose points for each uneaten sweet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCREDITS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned by Scott Almes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArt by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAndrea Ivetic Vicai\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003eVARIANTS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Nice Cuppa Wallet Game \u003c\/strong\u003e - required for all games\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Nice Cuppa Expansion Collection \u003c\/strong\u003e - all 4 expansions for the game (Seasonal Stresses, A Good Book, Pets and Something Sweet) packed together in a vinyl wallet (requires A Nice Cuppa Wallet Game)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buttonshygames.mom\/products\/a-nice-cuppa-expansion-collection\"\u003ehttps:\/\/buttonshygames.mom\/products\/a-nice-cuppa-expansion-collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Button Shy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50440258945192,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/8287\/files\/A_Nice_Cuppa_-_Promo_Wallet.png?v=1777460696","url":"https:\/\/buttonshygames.mom\/products\/a-nice-cuppa","provider":"Button Shy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
