About this board game

Elevenses for One is a two-game solitaire collection for one player, with a play time of 11 minutes. Released in 2016, it combines a tea trolley puzzle with a card game that simulates a round of bowling.

In Elevenses for One, your goal is to load the tea trolley with all the accoutrements needed for a splendid morning tea before the clock strikes 11. The game uses only eleven cards, making each decision easy to understand but important to the final result.

Each card presents specific actions that you must choose to follow or ignore. Those choices may work against you, so careful attention is essential as you attempt to load the trolley correctly within fifteen actions.

  • Eleven cards: Follow or ignore the actions shown as you prepare the tea trolley.
  • Fifteen actions: Load the trolley correctly before you run out of opportunities.
  • Bowling Solitaire: Use standard playing cards to simulate a round of bowling.

The box highlights Elevenses for One, while Bowling Solitaire is included as an additional game noted on the back of the box. Together, they offer two distinct solitaire experiences in one compact release.

Whether you are trying to achieve a splendid morning tea or using standard playing cards to recreate bowling, Elevenses for One delivers a concise solo experience with clearly defined objectives and a short playing time.
