This review convinced me to buy 8 copies of patch work, all the special holiday editions. I'll have to keep them in shrink to maintain their value. But for the original edition, I carefully cut the plastic open on the bottom so I can still play while maintaining the box quality! Edit: Couldn't forget the wife's boyfriend, so I bought him 2 deluxe copies as a thanks for letting me bring his switch on vacation!

Patchwork is so good! It's got a spatial puzzle, economic engine (button income), and race elements (to leather patches and quilt patches) all in twenty minutes. Easy to teach but has some tough decisions.

Oh, you know about Go and even mentioned it in the video!!! For me, as strong Go player who studied it for more than 9 years , and a huge fan of the channel and board games overall, this was such a discovery! 15:19 ( btw, I still like luck element in the games, for example, in War of the ring)

I gifted the game 4 times already to non-boardgamers. It's so good that it packs a decent punch for something so extremely accessible. The gamer like complains are kind of silly to me given how light it is. Also imo no need to house rule the tile placement by the way. Sure not the most interesting turns when you have to pass. But it's not random and any problem you have will have your opponent as well. The option to pass and let your opponent deal with the same problem is an interesting choice. Makes the games play out differently as well.

Feels very on par with Hey that's my fish! spatial puzzle and level of complexity. I'm also always on the look out for textless board games as we have a young one who can't read explanetory text on cards ect yet, but is smart enough to memorise a simple rule set. So might get this next time I see this. Thanks!

One minor nitpick is that it's almost impossible to completely fill up the grid. For some reason, this really bothers me, but not enough to keep me from playing the hell out of the excellent mobile app.

It’s actually not impossible if you’re not a causal. Lol. Seriously, I came to needing one leather patch to fill everything up. Then I got all caught up in the emotions I didn’t think my move through. I could have gotten it if I just passed since my wife’s bf also could buy the next three in line. Then it would have been mine!!!

This is not 0% luck cause your oppenent can chose to take the piece that you want for your next turn or may go elsewhere. So as it depends on his choice, his configuration, you just need to pray like 99,9% of games. You still can be very frustrated. But yeah it's definitly close to no luck and is way less luck dependant than my fav 2 player game schotten totten

This is totally random but when I heard the way you say "kaveat," I had flashbacks of the question, do you pronounce "aunt" like "ant" or not. (I do. I also pronounce the "a" in caveat the same way as "ant." I also enjoyed the perspective of playing Patchwork to feel all those years of playing Tetris paying off😂
