Piece together a quilt and leave no holes to become the button master. In Patchwork, two players compete to build the most aesthetic (and high-scoring) patchwork quilt on a personal 9x9 game board. To start play, lay out all of the patches at random in a circle and place a marker directly clockwise of the 2-1 patch. Each player takes five buttons — the currency/points in the game — and someone is chosen as the start player. Why is this game so popular? Well, Patchwork by Uwe Rosenberg is a challenging puzzle for 2 players, comes with simple rules, and short playing time, has bringing fun to your gaming tables since 2014 (!), is the perfect game as a filler and to introduce players to the hobby! 2 Players | 15-30 Mins | Ages 8+ AWARDS & HONORS 2017 Guldbrikken Best Family Game Nominee 2017 Årets Spill Best Family Game Nominee 2017 Årets Spel Best Family Game Winner 2016 Lys Grand Public Finalist 2016 Juego del Año Finalist 2016 International Gamers Award - General Strategy: Two-players Nominee 2016 Gra Roku Game of the Year Nominee 2015 Spiel des Jahres Recommended 2015 Spiel der Spiele Special Prize Winner 2015 International Gamers Award - General Strategy: Two-players Nominee 2015 Hungarian Board Game Award Nominee 2015 Hra roku Recommended 2014 Meeples' Choice Nominee 2014 Golden Geek Best Abstract Board Game Winner 2014 Golden Geek Best Abstract Board Game Nominee 2014 Golden Geek Best 2-Player Board Game Nominee
