📖 About This Game

"Kintsugi" is the Japanese art of using golden lacquer to repair broken pottery. 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.
