Detail
In the game, players will encounter cards featuring famous porcelain patterns. If a player answers correctly, they can use a handle to strike the center card and earn a piece of simulated porcelain. These porcelain pieces can be stacked, and the first player to complete their porcelain construction wins.
This engaging process not only teaches players about traditional porcelain patterns but also introduces them to the art of porcelain production.
