Calico is a puzzly tile-laying game of quilts and cats! In Calico, players compete to sew the coziest quilt as they collect and place patches of different colors and patterns. Each quilt has a particular pattern that must be followed, and players are also trying to create color and pattern combinations that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also able to attract the cuddliest cats! Turns are simple. Select a single patch tile from your hand and sew it into your quilt, then draw another patch into your hand from the three available. If you are able to create a color group, you may sew a button onto your quilt. If you are able to create a pattern combination that is attractive to any of the cats, it will come over and curl up on your quilt! At the end of the game, you score points for buttons, cats, and how well you were able to complete your unique quilt pattern.

Looks cozy and comforting until you start playing and trying to hit all the various scoring mechanisms. A really dastardly game with tough decisions hidden behind some lovely kitties and quaint quilts.

Great game! Theme is well thought-out and is much more of a 'thinky' type game than it first appears.

A lovely little game that's quick to learn but quite a challenge too. Looks good too

This game is not as cuddly as it seems. You have to place tiles on your board in order to make certain patterns to get points. However this is a really tight and heady puzzle that can be as frustrating as enjoyable. Don’t be fooled by the cute cat on the cover, this is a brain workout. A brilliant brain workout.

Calico is a very popular game. And for good reason. It has a very simple and charming looking game, but one that hides one of the most strategic games I have ever played. It has a very simple theme of creating a blanket pattern to attract cats to come and sit on it. But by gosh does it have a lot of decision making to make. There is only a limited number of spaces available to you and only having 2 patterns in hand to choose between becomes harder and harder to balance. This is because you have 3 different scoring conditions based on the placed patterns. Super great game, very highly recommended!
