Read the full game description
Sunrise at the Studio is a compact card-drafting and set-collection game about making pottery. Players choose work styles, draft resource cards simultaneously, and convert clay, glaze, kiln time, and other materials into project cards. Completed pieces may grant immediate advantages, end-game bonuses, or progress toward shared studio challenges, so every card has to serve both the current project and the final display. Three brisk days keep the decisions concentrated, while a dedicated solo opponent preserves the same resource puzzle for one player.
