Sunrise at the Studio

About this board game

Sunrise at the Studio is a pottery-themed board game for 1–4 players, with sessions lasting about 20 minutes. Over three days, players create ceramic works by drafting clay, glaze, and kiln resources.

Begin with a quick setup as you prepare the studio challenges, pottery projects, and each player’s work area. During play, everyone simultaneously chooses how to use their available resources—and which resources to pass.

Use resource cubes to mark progress as you work toward completing the projects in front of you. Finished pottery can include delightful projects and intricate showpieces, giving each player a collection of works to admire at the end of the game.

• Simultaneous drafting: Select clay, glaze, and kiln resources alongside the other players.
• Pottery projects: Spend resources to advance and complete the works in your studio.
• Advantage cards: Find fun bonuses to support your creative plans.
• Studio challenges: Pursue additional goals and declare your pottery prowess.

Choosing the right mix of resources is central to your work style. Decide where each resource will make the greatest difference, then keep your projects moving as the morning unfolds.

Pick up new projects, discover bonuses, and shape a varied body of work before the final day ends. After three days, players admire the pottery they created and compare their scores to see who made the most points.

With its approachable setup, simultaneous resource drafting, and cheerful ceramics theme, Sunrise at the Studio offers a compact creative experience for pottery enthusiasts and players looking for a focused game about making, planning, and completing beautiful objects.
