Calico
Sew a patchwork quilt that meets three goals and, with luck, attracts a cat.
What it is
A fun game for 1 to 4 people, perfect for cat people and quilters alike. Each turn you sew a hex patch into your quilt and take a new one from a small market. Three connected patches of a color earn a button, matching patterns attract a cat, and goal tiles reward exact arrangements. You will rarely satisfy everything, which is the point.
What we love
- You must place a tile every turn, so the puzzle tightens fast.
- Buttons and cats pull you toward color and pattern at once.
- Each game uses three of six goal tiles.
Honest trade-offs
- It is largely solitaire, with interaction limited to taking tiles others want.
- It is harder than the cover suggests, and most players miss at least one goal.
