Patchwork

Patchwork box cover art with squares of different patterns and colors lined up together like a patchwork quilt.

Players work to create a beautiful quilt, which requires effort and time, but the available patches just do not want to fit together! Choose your patches carefully and keep a healthy supply of buttons to not only finish your quilt, but to make it better and more beautiful than your opponent‘s! Players compete to build the most aesthetic (and high-scoring) patchwork quilt on a personal 9x9 game board. To start play, lay out all of the patches at random in a circle and place a marker directly clockwise of the 2-1 patch. Each player takes five buttons — the currency/points in the game — and someone is chosen as the start player. 

The chart including Patchwork requires 2 players, plays in 15-30 minutes, features abstract strategy and puzzle themes, and offers card drafting, grid coverage, income, tile placement and time track mechanics.
