In Witkacy, you are going to restore copies of paintings by the famous polish artist Witkacy. In order to get the most of them, you need to look for the right fragments. The player who has the most copies restored wins, but at the same time, popular paintings are more valuable than others. Each player starts with one double-sided card and puts it in front of themselves as the start of their collection. In each round players take one card, may play a special action, then add the card to their collection. Each card is divided in three segments and shows only part of a painting — at least one quarter of it, half at most. The aim of the game is to choose which parts of the cards to connect and when and how use the special one-time actions.
