Kintsugi – Card Game

Discover the beauty of imperfection in Kintsugi, an atmospheric tactical card game inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with golden lacquer. Collect beautiful porcelain, earn gold coins and carefully decide which cards are worth keeping. But your collection is never completely safe: certain pieces may break as the game progresses. Repair them with gold at the right moment and turn misfortune into opportunity. Straightforward rules, meaningful decisions and a playing time of around 15 minutes make Kintsugi an accessible set-collection game with a distinctive theme.

Key Features:

• Inspired by Japanese Kintsugi: The distinctive theme is based on the traditional art of visibly repairing broken pottery with gold, celebrating rather than hiding its imperfections.
• Tactical Set Collection: Gather different types of porcelain and build combinations designed to score as many points as possible at the end of the game.
• Clever Card Drafting: Select cards from a shared display, with the drafting direction changing during the round to make timing and card choice important.
• Break and Repair Porcelain: Certain types of porcelain can become damaged during play and must be repaired using the gold you have collected.
• Meaningful Risk and Reward: Sell cards to gain valuable coins or add them to your collection and accept the possibility that they may later break.
• For 2 to 4 Players: Designed for small groups and family game sessions, with a recommended age of 10 and above.
• Quick 15-Minute Gameplay: Short games make Kintsugi ideal as a filler, an opener for game night or a title you can immediately play again.

Why Choose Kintsugi?

Kintsugi combines an unusual and memorable theme with approachable gameplay and meaningful tactical decisions. Building a valuable porcelain collection is important, but keeping enough gold available to repair broken pieces can be just as crucial. Damaged porcelain left unrepaired may cost you valuable scoring opportunities, while carefully restored pieces can strengthen your final collection. Drafting, collecting, selling and repairing work together to create an elegant balance between risk and reward. It is an excellent choice for players who enjoy set collection, quick card games and compact designs where every decision matters.
