Patchwork

Product Review (submitted on December 31, 2015):

This is a great, quick puzzle/strategy game to play. The rules are extremely simple but leave plenty of room to try different tactics. The basic actions you can take are either a) move in front of the other players token and take a number of buttons (money) equal to the distance traveled or b) buy a piece to fit on your quilt board. The key aspects are that each piece has a button cost as well as a movement cost, so you are forced forward on the turn board when you buy a piece (meaning that the game is closer to being over). Also, some pieces have buttons on them that allow you to earn additional 'income', so you need to balance which kinds of pieces you buy and when.

I have played numerous back-to-back games and really enjoy the challenge of trying to fill up the entire quilt board and beat out my opponent. This game is definitely worth adding to your collection.
