Description

--- "Calico" is a competitive, puzzly tile-laying game where players craft quilts using colorful patches to attract cats and score via buttons and pattern completion. Key mechanics include: - *Tile-laying* Players sew one patch tile from hand onto their personal quilt per turn. - *Hand management* Draw a new patch from three available options after placing. - *Color matching* Form color groups to sew buttons for points. - *Pattern combinations* Create appealing combos to attract cats that curl up on the quilt. - *Quilt completion* Follow unique quilt pattern for end-game scoring. - *Competitive scoring* Points awarded for buttons, cats, and quilt pattern fulfillment. Calico is a puzzly, competitive tile-laying board game centered on crafting quilts and attracting cats. Players vie to create the coziest quilt by collecting and placing patches of various colors and patterns, adhering to a unique quilt pattern while forming aesthetically pleasing color groups and pattern combinations. On each turn, a player selects and sews a single patch tile from their hand into their quilt, then draws another from three available patches. Achieving a color group allows sewing a button, and suitable pattern combos lure cats to the quilt. Game end scoring rewards buttons, attracted cats, and the degree of completing the personal quilt pattern. ---
