Story

The solstice tea-party is right around the corner at the courë of courës. 

Everyone worth anything will be there, from royalty like the Queen, Titania Thousandsbloom, to the starspeaker of the Montfaucille family, Orbrime, or Faustina Sangrevigne, the much revered scientisft, diviner and enchantress.

Fae nobles like you will be competing for the favours of the high faes. You are to elaborate beautifully complex cocktails for the rulers of the courës - it will most certainly aid you in your political manoeuvering, and maybe land you in a comfortable position... Until the next gathering.

But this will be no simple task. As everything done by the faes, you are governed in this endeavour by strict rules, sometimes opaque, always merciless. Be cut-throat, be smart, and maybe a little lucky, and you might prevail.

Gameplay

The gardens of the courë is a... I'm not going to say tiny because it's 18 pages of print, but it's a somewhat simple set collection game about making cocktails, except you're all playing as a bunch of fairies. 

I've tried to make it pretty interactive and cutthroat. It's got to a place where the playtests are just really enjoyable, so for something made in 5 days I'm pretty happy about it. Can't say much about balance yet though.

The rulebook is somewhat scuffed, because I'm kinda tired and I still suck at rulebooks. If you have any questions, please, by all mean, ask away. Also, if say, 3 people want, like, card backs and rules clarifications and polish in the rulebook, I'll do it. 

And if you give me gameplay, UX and balance feedbacks, I'll also be happy to iterate.
