Description
Inspired by patchwork quilting, this simple, quick-to-play strategy game pits two players in a race to complete as much of a quilt as possible. To begin, a series of colorful cardboard quilting fabrics (in a wide variety of sizes and shapes) are laid out on the table around a central board. Each patchwork piece has an associated button and time costbuttons are the currency and victory points of the game, while time forces players to move their tokens forward a certain number of spaces. Certain pieces also give players a valuable button income, triggered by specific spaces of the board. Players take turns (based on board position) moving forward, making money or buying patchwork pieces and assembling them on their 10x10 gridded boards. The trick is to assemble the oddly-shaped fabrics together in a sensible manner, avoiding holes in the quilt which cannot be filled. But theres a catchthe first player to assemble a perfect 7x7 square on their board wins a valuable 7-button reward. Once players reach the end, they add up their buttons and subtract the empty spaces on their boardthe player with the most points wins! Perfect for strategists both young and old. ~30 minutes.
Publisher's Description of Patchwork Game
Patchwork is a form of needlework that involves sewing together pieces of fabric into a larger design. In the past, it was a way to make use of leftover pieces of cloth to create clothing and quilts. Today, patchwork is a form of art, in which the designers use precious fabrics to create beautiful textiles. The use of uneven pieces of fabric in particular can result in real masterpieces and is therefore being practiced by a large number of textile artists.
To create a beautiful quilt, however, requires effort and time, but the available patches just do not want to fit together. So 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.
