Cozy Game Restoration: How to Get Rarity

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: there's a 'tomorrow's rarity' percentage which will change based on the types of games next to each other.

What you need to know

Rarity in Cozy Game Restoration is determined by the arrangement of games on your shelves. The game calculates a “tomorrow’s rarity” percentage based on which titles sit next to each other, and that percentage is applied to the next day’s deliveries. By grouping similarly‑rated games together you can push the chance of receiving rarer items.

Step by step

  1. Open your shelf view and look at the rarity icons for each game you have placed.
  2. Identify groups of the same rarity (e.g., all uncommon titles or all rare titles).
  3. Move games so that like‑rated titles sit side‑by‑side. The more contiguous the block, the higher the “tomorrow’s rarity” value will become.
  4. Add extra shelves if needed to give yourself enough space to create larger same‑rarity clusters.
  5. Leave the arrangement unchanged overnight; the game will recalculate the rarity chance for the next day’s deliveries based on your layout.
  6. Check the next day’s delivery to see if the rarity has improved. If it’s still low, repeat the process, trying different combinations (e.g., swapping a 7‑slot uncommon block for a 6‑slot uncommon plus a single rare).

Tips

  • Larger contiguous blocks of the same rarity give a bigger boost than scattered placements.
  • Adding more shelves gives you flexibility to create multiple blocks, which can raise the overall rarity percentage.
  • The rarity boost only affects the following day’s deliveries, so plan your layout before you log off for the night.
  • Experiment with swapping a long uncommon chain for a shorter uncommon chain plus a rare game; sometimes this yields a higher overall rarity chance.
  • Keep track of the “tomorrow’s rarity” percentage if the game shows it, as it will indicate whether your current arrangement is effective.

What players suggest

You can boost your rarity by connecting similarly rare games next to each other on the shelf. there's a 'tomorrow's rarity' percentage which will change based on the types of games next to each other. I tend to add a few more shelves to get more space to boost the rarity scores. just heads up the rarity is applied to the following day's deliveries. If you want to cheese it a bit you can place…

update: managed to get 5 rarity chance

Hello! I'm thinking of making the rarity curve easier. It sounds like that would be a good idea. Rarity is exclusively calculated by the combos of the shelves you have, BUT since you'll get higher stats for higher combos, switchign out from a 7 combo of uncommon to a 6 and 1 rare might be lower initially. here's the stats https://imgur.com/a/AOqdMYl So your curve will increase significantly…
