I was charmed from our first play of Patchwork years ago. There’s something about it’s slightly chaotic quilt patterns and satisfyingly tricky puzzle. And as a two player game, it’s a great choice for date nights. 

Patchwork is a great game for players who love easy to learn yet difficult to master games. It challenges you to purchase polyomino tiles to fill in your player board to make the most aesthetic quilt. Players have to generate their own income by purchasing tiles that give them buttons which act as your currency in the game. 

The beauty of Patchwork is that it is simple to learn yet players quickly find that executing their strategies is anything but simple! 

If your family loves Patchwork, here are some other polyomino tile games that you might enjoy as well!
