Patchwork Review:

Whoever first passes a patch on the time track claims this patch and immediately places it on his game board. Patchwork Express features the same basic gameplay as Patchwork, but with a smaller playing area and with larger and less complex pieces. Patchwork is a well-loved, two player abstract game focused on both aesthetics and strategy. (Of course, this doesn't happen in every game. 6cmProduct Width 20. Patchwork Express is played on a personal 7x7 game board where each player tries to build the most aesthetic (and high-scoring) quilt by placing different pieces together like in Tetris.

Product info

• You're free to place the patch anywhere on your board that doesn't overlap other patches, but you probably want to fit things together as tightly as possible.
• Playing time: 20 minutes
• On a turn, a player either purchases one of the three patches standing clockwise of the starting marker or passes.
• What's more, the time track depicts six 1x1 patches on it, and during set-up you place six actual 1x1 patches on these spaces.
• To start play, lay out all of the light-coloured patches at random in a circle and place a starting marker in a particular location.
• At some point during the game, dark-colored patches are added to what's available for players to take, and these pieces are smaller than the light-colored ones, making it more likely that they'll fill in holes on a player's board.
