Perfection in Imperfection

• Draft cards like bowls, cups, vases, and tea jars to create high-scoring sets.
• Different types of pottery score differently, with non-pottery cards adding even more texture to gameplay.
• Some pieces inevitably break — and players can influence which ones.
• Broken pottery is worthless, but players can use gold to repair their shattered collections, and when they do, their value grows greater than when they were brand new.
