Kintsugi

Players take turns laying cards that depict pottery fragments, overlapping them to connect pieces into a single repaired vessel. Each round assigns players hidden colors; the goal is to make one’s color form as few separate shards as possible while concealing which color is yours. One player acts as a secret critic to the right of each active player and can deduce the critic’s color; a correct guess lets the critic deduct the opponent’s score from their own. The game plays 2–3 people, runs one round per player, and totals scores across rounds with the lowest overall score winning.
