Product Description
Patchwork 10th Anniversary Edition is a beautifully designed 2-player strategy game inspired by the art of quilt-making. Players take turns choosing fabric-like patches, paying for them with buttons, and fitting them onto their personal quilt board as efficiently as possible.
What makes Patchwork so special is how much depth it creates from very simple rules. You are constantly balancing shape, cost, timing, and future income, trying to build a quilt that is both efficient and high-scoring. This anniversary edition celebrates 10 years of Patchwork and adds fresh patterns plus the popular Automa deck, so you can even enjoy the game solo when nobody is around.
