Kintsugi is the Japanese art of using golden lacquer to repair broken pottery. In Broken and Beautiful, players draft pottery cards like bowls, cups, and tea jars to create high-scoring sets.

But in the course of play, some pieces inevitably break — and the players can influence which ones.

Broken pottery is worthless… but players can repair their shattered valuables, and when they do, their worth grows greater than when they were new.
