Excuse me… I’ve just had tea with the queen… and how did you spend your afternoon?? That’s what I thought… certainly not as exciting as my afternoon… but we can’t all be privileged to dine with royalty.
LOL! Ok, so the snobbish tea party thing is a little too much fun for me… I’ll stop now. Alice’s Tea Cup Madness… how fun! Alice was always one of my favorite characters growing up… in fact I’m drinking out of a Alice in Wonderland cup right now, so I couldn’t help but be super excited when I saw this new game come out. I just HAD to play it right away!
The characters in this game are ridiculously cute! There’s the white rabbit, of course, and the Mad Hatter, and the queen, and my favorite… the Cheshire cat… who isn’t mad… but he’s cranky. Ha ha! Alice fell down the rabbit hole, but this time the only way out is to make money to cross the field of flowers… so Alice teams up with the white rabbit to open up a tea house in order to make some dough… or pastries… whatever.
Anyhow, it’s a challenging time management scramble to get the orders filled and the tea made and the pastries baked and topped appropriately. Later you add more toppings, and different kinds of teas and different pastry shapes to make it even more challenging! It’s crazy! Or should I say… mad?!
They even throw in some different kinds of time management techniques… such as if you have two orders of croissants, you can grab the pastry and drag your mouse over two places to fill two plates instead of running back and forth. Alice can only carry one plate at a time, so this comes in handy especially when the orders start pouring in. Ha get it? Pour… it’s a tea house? Huh? Man, I’m funny today!
My one word of advice is save your money up for the instant serves right away. This feature lets you automatically serve customers at once. So you can concentrate on making the orders and then all you have to do is click a button to serve all of them at once! It really is a time-saver!
The graphics are beautiful. Bright pinks, blues, and purples galore, and the game is super fun to play! I know what I’ll be doing for the rest of the weekend… well besides breaking for some quality time with my ummmm… “tutor.” I think we’re hitting it off pretty well… even though I still don’t understand a word he says about economics…
