Title:
Broken and Beautiful
Description:
”Kintsugi” is the Japanese art of using golden lacquer to repair broken pottery. Broken and Beautiful is an elegant set collection game with a unique scoring mechanic for breakage and repair.

In Broken and Beautiful, players draft cards like bowls, cups, and tea jars to create high-scoring sets. As some pieces inevitably break, players must judiciously repair what has been shattered.

Whole pottery is valuable. Broken dishes are worthless. That which has broken and been repaired is uniquely precious.

Broken and Beautiful is a card-drafting and set-collection card game about kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer. In the game, players draft cards like bowls, cups, bases, and tea jars to create high-scoring sets.

The Standard Edition contains a full 46-card deck, four reference cards, 14 ingot-shaped wooden resource markers, and wooden first player marker.

GRANT’S GAME RECS SAYS: “Card drafting and set collection.. that’s more gorgeous than Sushi Go, and also more strategic.”. PERFECTLY ELEGANT: Seven types of pottery each score differently, plus unique and thematic mechanics for breakage and repair. CARD DRAFTING & SET COLLECTION: Players choose two cards each turn, once in each direction, assembling high-scoring sets and cleverly influencing which types of pottery will break. A SINGULAR THEME: Perfectly encapsulates kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer. Broken and Beautiful shows how the best game mechanics emerge from the most singular themes.
