Quilts and Cats of Calico

Don't let the cute and fluffy dissuade you. I took a chance on this game and was pleasantly surprised. This is a very solid pattern/color matching board game. Not ground breaking but it's got the strategic elements that make a good board game.

As a big (unabashed) Wingspan fan, I was initially hesitant and dismissive of this game. Cats? Quilts? Then I remembered my same reaction to Wingspan---BIRDS? But after researching this, watching videos and carefully considering, I pulled the trigger. Wow! I quite like this game. I might just LOVE this game, but I'm a sucker for well thought out and fun board games...and this is addictively fun and challenges your mind. Oh, you can also make custom cats. My first is a pig-look-alike, because I can!

But I knew it was a solid game. The implementation here is perfect - the soft music, the interface, the non-intrusive style. Not many board games get videogame adaptations right, this one does.
