You are all aliens from different cultures who've gathered for a tea party or other casual social occasion. All your universal translators are working perfectly, but communication may still be tricky...

Alien Tea Party is a cooperative parlour game about how unspoken social rules make it hard to get what you need. You will randomly draw a Rule and a Need, pair up with a partner, have a short friendly conversation where you both try to meet your Needs without breaking (or directly stating) your Rules, and finally try to guess your partner's Rule. It's not a competition, your partner succeeding reflects well on you too!

While this game is meant to be funny and low-stakes, I'm aware it could be stressful for people who've struggled with unspoken social rules in real life. If you draw a Rule or Need you're uncomfortable playing, you can discard it and draw another, no questions asked.
