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!

When it comes to tile placement games, Carcassonne is a category defining giant. 

Now, 20 years after its release, it is still one of the most beloved. We’re taking a look at the newly released 20th anniversary edition of Carcassonne, and giving our thoughts on this classic game. 

Is this a puzzle? Is it a game? It’s both!

Land vs Sea is a relaxing and strategic two player game. This is a puzzle game where players will work to connect tiles to build an ever expanding map and enclose land or sea territories. 

We’re sharing our thoughts on Neoville, a game where you and your friends become architectural visionaries, tasked with building a harmonious city! 

Neoville was a game we had to play again right away and I think you’ll want to as well! 

Let’s take a look at Secrets and Soirees, the expansion to Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig. 

This expansion adds new room types, bonus cards, and rules to allow for solo and 2-8 player play.
