Storm in a Teacup card game rules explanation

About Storm in a Teacup, from BoardGameGeek:

"A good tea time is made with good ingredients. The giraffes host a tea party every day. Everyone smiles when they enjoy the delicious black tea. But oh dear... There's another tea party tomorrow. Are you sure it fine to be so generous?" - story from the rules "The goal of this game is to reduce the number of cards you have. You play small games using the cards in your hand, and you may discard some cards you played depending on the result of the small game. You keep the cards that you didn't discard and use them as your new hand when you run out of your hand. You may easily win a small game using a lo of cards in your hand at once, but don't forget that it's sometimes important to save your cards." - abstract from the rules
