Game Idea?

In this game; we wanted to tell the story of the (ChaiChe) which is the guy who making Tea in his movable cabinet and simple tools in the middle of the Bazzar (The Shops in the streets)

How to play?

As shown in the below screenshot; You start receiving orders to make Tea, drag and dropping the istikan (the cup) and collect money to upgrade your business and purchase sugar, more cups to serve more and maybe a radio for cool music ;)

What does Istikan mean?

Istikana is an Arabic word used to describe a unique-looking glass used mostly to drink tea. The word originated during the British colonization of much of the Middle East who referred to this unique-looking glass as "East Tea Can". With time the word evolved to "Is-Ti-Kan-a" - Istikana

What will be in the full version?

If this idea was a success and players liked the concept, we will continue developing it into the full version for Web/PC/Mobile and will include more of the cultural theme from the region specifically Iraq and will include more upgrades and ingredients to serve, example:Tea concentration style (light, normal, heavy), Tea type and herbs,  Arabic coffee, different traditional tools to make these drinks inspired from the region.

So tell us in the comments below what you think :)
