Welcome to a world of colorful patchwork and adorable cats
Calico is a puzzle tile-placement game for 1-4 players, 30-45 minutes of playtime, and recommended for ages 14 and up.
In this game, players compete to create the coziest quilt by collecting patch tiles of various colors and patterns and placing them on their quilt board.
Objective of the game
The object of the game is to score the most points by completing design goal tiles, attracting cats to your quilt, and capturing buttons.
With simple rules yet deep strategic depth, this game promises to be a fun time with family and friends.
Game Flow
Each player has their own quilt board and places various patch tiles on it during the game.
Three design goal tiles are placed on the quilt board, and at the end of the game points are awarded based on the color or pattern combination of the surrounding six patch tiles.
Design goals can be achieved through either color or pattern, or both, with the higher score awarded if both are achieved.
Play Details
The flow of play is simple: place one patch tile from your hand on an empty space on your quilt board, then choose one of the three patch tiles in the central tile market and add it to your hand.
But there's an important strategy hidden within.
Button and cat token
When you collect three or more patch tiles of the same color on your quilt, you earn a button token of the corresponding color that you can place in that group on your quilt.
Each button is worth 3 points.
Additionally, if you get at least one button of every color, you'll get a rainbow button that you can place on any patch tile you like. This rainbow button is also worth 3 points.
Additionally, when you create a group of specific patterns on the quilt that your cat likes, you can earn the corresponding cat token and place it on top of that group of patterns.
Each cat is given two preferred patterns and the size or shape of the group that should consist of those patterns.
To attract the same kind of cat again, you need to create a new pattern group that has no contact with the previously scored group.
End of the game
The game ends when all players' quilt boards are completely filled with patch tiles.
Each player calculates their points based on the design goal tiles, cat tokens, and button tokens they have acquired, and the player with the most points wins.
In the event of a tie, the player with the most cat tokens wins, and if there is a tie again, the player with the most button tokens wins.
The appeal of "Calico"
The appeal of "Calico" is that it has a simple setup and rules, but deep strategic aspects.
It also comes with a Family Mode, which allows you to play with easier rules.
This mode does not use design objective tiles and focuses on collecting cats and buttons.
In addition, in solo mode, you can enjoy the game for a long time by challenging yourself with various scenarios and achievements.
