Description
In Broken and Beautiful, a game inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, players get to experience the thrill of collecting and repairing broken pottery. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 4 players can dive into this 15-minute game, drafting cards like bowls, cups, and tea jars to create high-scoring sets. As players collect these pieces, some will inevitably break, and that's where the fun really begins. The goal is to repair the broken pieces, because in this game, whole pottery is valuable, but broken dishes are worthless - it's the pieces that have been broken and repaired that are truly unique and precious. With its unique blend of card drafting and set collection mechanics, Broken and Beautiful is a game that will keep you coming back for more, and its short playtime makes it perfect for a quick game night with friends.
