December 21 - Patchwork

I always like to offer to play this game. It sounds something like this:

— Listen, do you want to play Patchwork ?

- What is it about?

— Well, we will make rag quilts and the goal is to make the most beautiful quilts!

If someone has not heard anything about Patchwork , then the puzzled look is worth it.

In this two-player game, opponents compete to create the prettiest (read most efficient) rag deck. To be fair, the game is quite abstract. There are buttons on the quilt that are used as currency to buy quilt squares, which is rather illogical, but the sense of theming is created with excellent components.

This is a very tactical game. Several elements must be constantly balanced - button income, area filling and time consumption. The fact that it can be difficult to fill the field in the second half of the game adds an extra level, but my favorite part is that you have a complete overview of your field and your opponent's field and can figure out which field to take to make life difficult for the opponent. It is because of this interactivity that the multiplayer is very high, and practically every game I have played so far has been an exciting duel of wits.

Kristaps: “This was definitely one of my surprises this year that I tried and bought almost instantly. Patchwork is an excellent two-player game that's easy to learn while constantly challenging your mind. I especially recommend the game to couples who like to fill their evenings with intellectual activities. Also, this is a great game for chess fans. I definitely recommend giving it a try - rating 8 out of 10."

“Absolutely the favorite game to play with my wife. Strategic, tactical, and a lot of fun with agonizing decisions, and the distinct joy of putting different shapes into other different shapes. One tight game indeed. :D”
