This is exactly the type of game that I love to play. The player with the most points is the winner.Īs you can see, the intricacies of Calico do not come from a heavy rule set, the intricacies come from the puzzle that you are putting together each time you play. At that point, all of the victory points are tallied, points are simply for completed design tile goals, cats on your quilt and buttons on your quilt. After doing that, the player will draw from one of the three face up pattern tiles that are on display and then refill that display.Ĭalico ends when each player has filed their quilt board. At the beginning of each player’s turn, they are going to choose one of the two pattern tiles from their hand, and place it out on any open space on their board. Once you are set up and understand scoring, game play flows really smoothly and is simple as can be. Players start the game with two pattern tiles in hand, and will always end their turn with two. Each button on your quilt at the end of the game is worth three points. These groupings need to be separate from each other, you cannot simply keep adding to the original group to gain more buttons. The button scoring tile simply tells you that you need a set of at least three tiles of the same pattern adjacent to each other to take the button that corresponds with that pattern. All of the buttons are also placed out on the table, along with the button scoring tile. These are shuffled and placed facedown in piles near the play area or in the bag that comes with the game.
#CALICO GAME PATCH#
There are 108 patch tiles in the game, 6 sets of 18. The tile also lets you know how much that cat is going to be worth in victory points at the end of the game for each of that cat on your quilt. This is going to tell you which patterns attract which cats and which group or shape you need these patterns in. When setting up the game, you are going to choose three of the five double sided cat scoring tiles and then randomly place two of the black and white pattern tiles below each of the cats. Some design goal tiles are going to be more difficult than others to complete, so the points will vary, my example just happens to only have two different values. That could be in colors, patterns or both, but not a combination. So in the example above, the AA-BB-C-D wants two pairs and two singles surrounding it. If you only manage to do one of the things, you get the lower value, if you complete both, you get the higher value. They tell you the pattern and the colors that need to be surrounding it to score points. The design goal tiles are pretty self explanatory once you see everything. You will also score points for attracting cats to your quilt and for buttons on your quilt. You will score points at the end of the game based on how well you complete these three goal tiles. This gives you the guidance to know what you want your quilt to look like. At the start of the game, each player will choose three design goal tiles to place on their quilt.
You’ll do that through drafting patches to place in your quilt. In Calico, players are going to compete to create the coziest quilt. If there is one thing I have learned in our short time as cat people, it’s that cats love to sleep in comfy places, so this makes complete sense that if you make a quilt, they will sleep on it. Or rather a game where you are making a quilt and trying to attract cats. We played Isle of Cats a couple times, we’ve been buying cat things, and now we’re playing a game sort of about quilts. Being new cat people, we’re supposed to like things that have to do with cats right? Even tangentially with cats. So I guess we’re cat people now(even though our youngest keeps asking for a St. But back in September, something shifted in the Kempf family household, a cat joined the family, then in December another one. We’re dog people, or rather, we used to be dog people.
