About the game
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.

Questions and answers
Witkacy supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Witkacy is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Witkacy for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Witkacy has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
