Each turn were you move without placing a patch you are leaving more of your board open which will result in negative points at the end of the game. The player that goes next is the player that is furtherest behind on the time track, so it’s possible for a player to take two turns in a row if they choose a patch with a small time cost.

If it so happens that both players time tokens are on the same space then whoever has the token on the top goes first. Patchwork is a game for two players (and only two players) in which the players compete to create the highest-scoring quilt by placing tiles on their individual player board.Patchwork is a game for 2 players, created by designer legend Uwe Rosenberg, and meanwhile an international bestseller. But just like with real cats, some cats will only eat one thing, or they don’t like to play with certain toys.

Players will try to gain as many cats as possible by giving them treats, toys, and other goodies cats love. It was subsequently released in Hungarian, Polish, English (as Patchwork XMAS Edition), and Japanese. Look behind the ghoulishly gleeful artwork and the tense, tight, tactical gameplay of the original Patchwork remains.Patchwork takes between 15 minutes and half an hour to play, and is suitable for newcomers to the hobby and younger players thanks to its simple rules, short length and colourful presentation.

The Patchwork Christmas tree marker then replaces the present patch you have just taken and your marker moves along the time track, corresponding to the number of spaces indicated by an egg timer icon. If you don’t, you’ll be on Santa’s naughty list and will incur a 2 button penalty at the end game scoring for each vacant square on your board. 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. Choose which side of the time board you’d like to play with and place it in the middle of the table.To create a beautiful quilt, however, requires effort and time, but the available patches just do not want to fit together.

In this game players are each making a quilt by drafting from polyomino quilt patches (think Tetris) and placing them on their board. The Christmas tree marker is then placed immediately to the right of the small 2-button-1-space candy-striped patch and that’s it; time to put the Quality Street down and get ready to puzzle out those polyomino presents!The time track board is placed in the centre, with the players’ gold and silver tokens placed at the start and all the polyomino present patches arranged in a circle around it. This is a relief because otherwise you would just stare at all the gorgeous fabrics unable to make any kind of a decision. Q: If at the end of the game both players have so many blank spaces on their boards that they go negative when scoring their points, do you assume they both have zero points or do you calculate the sum exactly? Instead of purchasing a patch, you can choose to pass; to do this, you move your time token to the space immediately in front of the opponent's time token, then take one button from the bank for each space you moved. Players move forward with their time tokens on the board where it will occupy the space in front of the opponents time token.
