Festivals
  • Festivals - a new menu entry with special tables for the holidays, open all year round. The festival in season glows in the menu and decorates the table

  • The Midnight Supper - the Halloween table: a pumpkin patch, a bone yard and a haunted ring, lit by candles and moonlight

Guests
  • Pumpkin Top - carved, lit and grinning; breaks into slippery seeds

  • Bone China - rattles back together once; only a ring out keeps it down

  • Ghost Cup - fades away and drifts through everything

  • Bat Whirligig - flutters out of reach and swoops down on a marked spot

Host
  • The Pumpkin King - leaps onto you, spits candle flames and rolls candy; in its second phase the lid flies off and the lights go out

Prize
  • Jack - a black jack-o'-lantern top won at the Midnight Supper: dashes set tops on fire, and its glaze art Will-o'-Wisp drifts through every top as ghost fire

  • Trick or Treat - a new achievement for breaking the Pumpkin King

Feel
  • Halloween music - two new tracks for the supper and the Pumpkin King

  • Candy corn - the festival drops candy instead of gold flakes

Hosts
  • The Kiln Dragon - rebuilt as a dragon teapot: the spout is its snout, horns on the lid, golden eyes, whiskers, a scaled body with golden spines, clawed legs and a tail fan

  • Fire breath - the dragon marks a cone, then breathes a roaring stream of fire from its spout that follows you and leaves burning glaze behind

Balance
  • Quick Wind - was far too strong: now winds up 20% faster with a 15% bigger wind ring, and stacks twice instead of three times

  • Falling off the dish - no longer a free reset: you lose 30% spin, half your wind ring, and cannot wind up for 2.5 seconds after landing

Courses
  • The Tea Garden - a sixth course: a willow tray with chopsticks, a lotus ring with a hole in the middle and a chopstick bridge platter, hosted by the Matcha Whisk

  • The Sushi Bar - a seventh course: a conveyor tray, a mochi platter and a gold ring with a teapot on the lip, hosted by the Cup Tower

  • New dish shapes - long oval platters, rounded trays and ring dishes you can fall through

  • Dish obstacles - chopsticks to bounce off, rolling mochi, a sushi conveyor and teapots that spray tea across the dish

Hosts
  • The Matcha Whisk - stirs the dish into a green whirlpool, then taps the lip three times and is dazed

  • The Cup Tower - five stacked cups; only the bottom one breaks, and every cup fights its own way

  • Angry hosts - every host changes the dish in its second phase: tea floods, the dish turns, the lip breaks, the dish cracks in half

Glaze arts
  • Glaze arts - every top has its own big ability on Q / Y / RB: Crackle Quake, Celadon Cyclone, Golden Guard, Windmill, Oil Slick and Gold Thread

The way through the service
  • House rules - some dishes come with a twist for extra gold: a lazy susan, a wobbly table, ice glaze, a saucer or spilled tea

  • Elite tables - every guest is gilded, and the kintsugi after it is rarer

  • The teahouse - before every host, spend the run's gold on tea, mends and kintsugi

Endless Banquet
  • Hosts - a host is served every three minutes, followed by a stop at the teahouse

  • Platter events - tea floods, shard rain, gold rush, a turning platter, stampedes and whirlpools

Kintsugi
  • Quick picks - always three cards after a dish, from 15 clear, punchy kintsugi

  • Hosts - breaking the host wins the dish at once

Feel
  • Winding up - a rising whirr, light drawn into your top and a bell when your spin is full

  • Slippery tea - much more slippery, with a splash and a trail

  • Shards - tops burst into many small shards that settle and sink away

  • Sound and music - teahouse music, themes for the new hosts and a sound for every glaze art

  • Controller rumble - on big hits, mends, glaze arts and broken hosts

Menus
  • Menus - cards fly in, every option can be changed with the mouse, a clearer top select screen

  • Tutorial - a new last step teaches your glaze art

Fixed

1 change
Menus
  • Mouse clicks - menus and cards react to the mouse reliably

Kintsugi
  • Rerolls, the fourth card and the free picks when starting at a later course - fewer menus, more spinning
