## Overview

Patchwork is a two-player strategic board game designed by Uwe Rosenberg, featuring a 9x9 quilting grid where players compete to create the most efficient and beautiful patchwork quilt. With a 30-minute playtime and easy-to-learn mechanics, it offers a perfect blend of quick, engaging gameplay and family-friendly fun for ages 8 and up.

## Description

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.

Review: Best 2 player game ever! Each game takes about 30 mins. Easy to understand the rules. - ~ Rainy/snowy/too hot weekend? Got the stew stewing or pie baking? Not all friends could come over? Got about 20 minutes to kill? Well, this is the perfect game for you to play with your friend/roommate/partner/husband/child/anyone you've got there! But please note that you can only play this with one friend; not the whole squad - for this is strictly a 2-player game! ~ What's all the stuff here? Well, you've got a lot of blue buttons, 33 patches, two quilt boards (lime green and yellow) and two time tokens of the same colors corresponding to these quilt boards, One Time board (the one with the spiral steps), One Neutral Token (the one that looks like Chess coin), Five 1x1 patches (the tiny leather patches), One 7x7 button tile (special tile). ~ Rules: 1. Each player picks one quilt board and the time token of the color corresponding to the color of their quilt board. Sit opposite to each other. 2. Place the time board at the center. Both the time tokens have to be placed at the beginning of the spiral in the time board (As the game progresses, you literally spiral your way through time!). Place the 1x1 patches at the corresponding blanks on the time board. Arrange all the 33 patches randomly around the time board. 3. Locate the smallest of the 33 patches. You'll find a tiny 2x2 rectangular patch. The Neural token (the grey chess like coin) has to be placed between this patch and it's immediate patch in the clockwise direction (refer to picture attached). The game proceeds in the clockwise direction from the neutral token. 4. Each player gets 5 buttons to begin with. 5. The player who last picked a needle must start the game. If neither of you have done that, just toss for it! 6. During your turn, you have two choices: Choice A: Buy a patch of your choice by paying the number of buttons indicated on that patch. You are eligible to buy any of the first three patches that are immediately adjacent to the neutral token in the clockwise direction. When you do pick a patch, move the neutral token to the now empty spot created by you taking this patch. Now you can use this patch to create a quilt on your quilt board. Use the patch wisely! Next, move your time token as per the number of steps indicated by the hourglass on that patch that you've just used. As long as your time token is further behind or on top of your opponent's time token, it is still your turn! Yes. This game does not necessarily alternate turns. Choice B: You decide to rest. Here you just pass over your opponent's time token; exactly to the next space. Not one step more or less. You'll receive one button for each of the spaces that you've crossed. Now that your time token is in front of your opponent's, your turn is over! 7. When your time token spirals it's way through the time board, You might happen to pass through some special places. When you cross a button checkpoint, count the number of buttons on the quilt that you've created on your work board (this doesn't include the buttons that you spent buying the patches but rather the huge buttons on the patches). You receive these many buttons from the reserve. Also, in case you are the first player to land onto or pass over a 1x1 patch, you get that patch. These patches go to the first player to land on or pass over them and MUST BE USED IMMEDIATELY. 8. The first player to build a complete 7x7 quilt (without any empty spaces) on their work board gets the special 7x7 tile. This corresponds to 7 buttons. (PS. The work board itself is 9x9) 9. So that's it. When both the time tokens reach the center of the time board, the game ends. 10. Point calculation: Add all the buttons that you have left. From this subtract the number of empty spaces on your work board multiplied by 2. ~ So that's pretty much it. You can refer to the pictures that I've attached to get more of an idea. ~ You'll definitely get familiar with the rules when you play a game or two. The rules are very simple. And the game is fun! ~ Also, I've noticed that this game does not involve much fighting or cheating. Just a fun and friendly game that helps you while away a max of 30 mins .
Review: Fun casual, but still strategic 2P game - This is quite a fun two player game. The game length depends heavily on how long players spend analyzing their turn. We've found it takes us roughly 20 minutes or so. Do note that the game is only for two players. It's printed rather largely on the box cover, but I just wanted to reiterate in case it were overlooked. The artwork on the game pieces has a cute feel to it and was actually the reason i chose to buy the game (my wife loves sewing crafts). While it certainly doesn't hurt gameplay, one improvement i'd make is to include real plastic buttons rather than cardboard ones. If someone felt so inclined, this could be an easy upgrade you could add to the game yourself without much cost.. some people, like my grandma, have jars full of buttons laying around! The rules of the game are short and rather simple. At the start of the game you feel as if the game might be too trivial and might not have enough strategy incorporated. However, it wont be long until you realize that's far from the case. For being such a simple game concept with a small rulebook, it is packed full of strategy. There's the obvious layout concern for your card, but then there are additional considerations such as managing your button income, defensively choosing a piece or advancing beyond a piece so your opponent can't get their ideal piece, not progressing too quickly around the board, but also not going so slow that you're strapped for funds. There's a bonus scoring of filling a certain sized region of your board, however we usually are unable to achieve this without making sacrifices or just getting lucky. One possible twist you can add to the game is to come up with your own regions/shapes to achieve points.. kind of like how bingo can be an X, a square, etc. You could make any type of regions/bonus points you want. The simple concept of the game would make it a good gateway game.. but it would really need a 4 player variant for that to work for us. I'd love to see a 4 player expansion put out for this game where you got a couple quilt boards and it doubled-up the patches and buttons (these would need to have an indicator on them so you could remove them for a 2 player game again). We enjoy this game quite a bit, but i don't think i'd consider it in our main rotation.. but it's very close. The game is well balanced and has good strategy involved.. it just doesn't have enough dynamics to it to make it something you play on high rotation. That said, i'm glad we bought it and I'd still buy it again. If they ever do come out with that 4 player expansion i'm sure we'll pick it up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much depth and re-playabilty do you think there is in Patchwork? Will it feel "samey" quickly?**
A: Patchwork has quickly became one of my favorite games. The quilts will always end up different. If you don't enjoy puzzle games, then I wouldn't recommend it to you. Two things I would keep in mind are its a 2 player only game and that this game has been in & out of print lately.

**Q: Are the pieces cardboard like puzzle pieces?  or a more durable material, like plastic?**
A: cardboard.

**Q: If you can't use a patch on your board (at end of the game), do you just move your token ahead and end your turn?**
A: Yes, and don't forget to collect your buttons (worth points) for each space you moved up.  .

**Q: Just bought this and noticed that punchboard #3 isn’t printed double-sided like the rest. Is this a misprint or intentional? Just see**
A: Misprint

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Competitive Quilting for Two
*by T***C on October 19, 2016*

A game about quilting. That kinda threw me for a bit but everyone and their sister were raving about it so I had to find out for myself. Turns out, everyone and their sisters were right. Patchwork is a game for exactly 2 players, ages 8+ and plays in about 30-45 minutes. How to play Thankfully this game involves no actual sewing because the last time I tried that I ended up in the ER with a sheepish grin on my face. You’ll find Patchwork to be a bit different than your average game in both set up and play. To begin with, each player will take a Quilt Board representing their as of yet not started sewing project. The Quilt Board is divided up into a number of 1×1 squares. They’ll then take 5 Buttons (the currency in the game) and a Time Token. There’s a third board in the game which is the central Time Board. Players will each place their Time Token on the starting space of the Time Board. Now, the most fun setup can really begin. There are a whole bunch of Patches – shaped, Tetris-like tokens – that you’re going to arrange randomly in a (fairly large) circle around the Time Board. Locate the smallest Patch (a 1×2 square Patch) and place the wooden Neutral token between that and the next patch, going clockwise. Each of these Patch tokens will have a little tag image on it that will show a number next to a button to indicate how many Buttons they cost, and a number next to a timer icon, to indicated how many spaces on the Time Board you’ll move your Time Token if you choose that Patch. Lastly, you’ll lay out the special 7×7 bonus token and place the five special 1×1 patches on the Time Board. The first thing you should know is that Patchwork doesn’t necessarily alternate turns. The player who’s Time Token is furthest back on the Time Board will get the next turn, which could (and will) mean players take multiple turns in a row. On your turn, you can do one of two things. Advance your Time Token to the space just after the other player’s Time Token on the Time Board and get yourself some buttons or take and place a Patch on your Patch board. In the first option you’ll receive as many buttons as spaces you’ve moved to get past the other player’s Time Token – advance three spaces, get three buttons. And that’s it, since the other player’s Time Token is now behind yours, it’s their turn. Remember, Buttons are currency in this game. If you choose to take a Patch, you’ve got to follow these five steps. First, the patch must be within three patches in front of the Neutral Token you placed amidst all those patches in the game setup. Second, you’ll move the Neutral Token to be next to the Patch you’ve chosen. Third, you pay the number of Buttons indicated on the patch (some patches are free). Fourth, you will place the Patch you just bought on your Quilt board. Last, you move your Time Token on the Time Board the number of spaces indicated on the Patch token you just placed on your Quilt Board. Some of the spaces on the Time Board have some special powers on them. There are five Special Patches, which are 1×1, leather looking Patches. These can only be gotten off the Time Board, and you only receive them if you are the first to move your Time Token onto or past them. The second special power are the Button icons. If you move past a Button icon, you then receive Button tokens! Look at your Quilt Board – many (but not all) Patches will have graphics of buttons sewn into them – count each individual button and take that many Button tokens. When you’re placing that patch on your Quilt Board, you have to follow a few simple rules too. You can flip or turn the Patch any way you like as long as it fits entirely on the board and doesn’t overlap any other Patches. That’s where the Tetris aspect of the game comes in. Finally, there’s a special 7×7 token – the first player to fill in a 7×7 grid completely on their Quilt board receives this token and scores an extra 7 points at the end of the game. Speaking of which…. End of the game and scoring. The game ends when both player’s Time Tokens reach the last space on the Time Board and players determine their scores. Add up the number of Button tokens you have left, and subtract 2 points for each empty 1×1 spaces on your Quilt board. That’s your score. If you had for example 11 buttons left and had managed to snag the 7×7 token, you’d start off with 18 points. If you had six empty spaces (6*2=12) you’d subtract 12 from 18 and end the game with 6 points. Why you should play Answer this question truly and honestly. How many games in your collection have a sewing or quilting theme? Now how many games in your collection with this theme are really engaging, allow for some interesting and thinky strategy, have just a bit of a puzzle aspect to them, allow you to build something of substance during the game, and are extremely well balanced? Patchwork checks all of these boxes and does so in a really compelling way. You’re looking ahead in the Patches portion of the table to see where the Neutral Token will next fall, while trying to calculate how many spaces forward you want to move to get more Buttons and maybe grab that 1×1 patch you need to fill in your 7×7 grid so you can finally get that extra points token. You’re opponent is doing that very same thing too, and perhaps plotting a way to take two turns before you’ll get your next so that the Neutral Token will skip over that one Patch you really need. It’s a lot of fun and sometimes a little frustrating in that good “oh, I can’t believe you just did that to me!” kind of way. I’ve enjoyed quite a few games while waiting for another friend to show up or between my wife and I or Luca and I. Patchwork hits that sweet spot of a 2 player filler game that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome and still offers a complete gaming experience. It’s what I’d expect from Uwe Rosengberg who’s designed (among many, many wonderful games) another tight, small game I love, Bohnanza. Be warned however, for such a small box the game ends up taking up quite a bit of space! It’s those Patches you’ve got to spread about. There’s a whole bunch of them! Other than that extremely minor thing I don’t have much in the way of criticism – rather I’m still pleasantly surprised that a game with a quirky theme is so much fun.
