Patchwork board game - 10th Anniversary Edition

Patchwork is a strategy board game for two players, in which each player builds their own quilt from fabric pieces of different sizes and shapes. Suitable for ages 8 and up, a game takes about 30 minutes. This 10th anniversary edition contains a central time board, two quilt boards, two time markers, a neutral marker, 33 patches, 5 special patches, a special tile, 50 button tiles, two rulebooks and 24 automa cards.

Each round you choose a piece from the central offer and fit it into your quilt, aiming to leave as few empty squares as possible. You pay for pieces with buttons, which you collect as you move along the track around the game board. Every placement shapes the final design of your quilt and affects how many buttons you end up with, so planning ahead matters.

The player who gathers the most buttons and leaves the fewest gaps wins. The rules are quick to learn, while the game offers enough depth for repeated play.
