Quilts and Cats of Calico is a wholesome, award-winning complex puzzle game for 1 to 4 players. Meet adorable cats and sew the coziest quilts. Compete with other players in multiplayer mode, play solo, or delve into the story of a quilter sewing their way through the city of cats.
The game challenges players to strategically place patterned quilt tiles on their personal quilt board. You must draft tiles from a shared pool and arrange them to create sets of matching colors and patterns. Carefully balancing short-term and long-term goals is key, as the available tile options constantly shift. The puzzle elements are both addictive and satisfying. You'll work to optimize your quilt layouts and fulfill specific pattern-based objectives. The game strikes a nice balance - it's easy to learn, but difficult to truly master, providing an engaging experience for both casual and experienced puzzle game fans.
One standout feature is the presence of adorable cat companions that roam across the game board during play. You can interact with these cats, pet them, and even try to accommodate their own tile pattern preferences. Watching the felines wander and nap on the quilts is consistently delightful. The game also allows you to create and customize your own unique cat companions, further enhancing the personal connection to the game's whimsical world. This cat customization feature is a wonderful addition that lets you put your own stamp on the experience.
Quilts and Cats of Calico offers a compelling variety of gameplay options.
