This is an Unbeweavable quilt, but I didn't use the special ruler for it because I wanted my blocks smaller than it came.

neutral · AI labelView post →Aaron Rodgers no-showed at the worst time. Steelers concerned more about preventing a Myles Garrett sack than winning the game. Worst of all, he missed a wide, wide open Kenny Gainwell for a TD to target MVS against one of the best corners of the league. Again. Patchwork roster fails. Again.
neutral · AI labelView post →First off, I love this board game. And the digital adaption is pretty solid. HOWEVER, I bought this game for my girlfriend and I to play together, and we are getting plagued with connection problems. She can't login through Steam, and we've tried everything. Looks like other buyers are suffering from the same game-breaking issue. Unfortunately, Asmodee has a long history of releasing buggy games and passing off it's QA to customers. This is another example of that. ps - If Digidiced or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The end game of creating a predatory, dictatorial, fascist, Christian Nationalist government is the right-wing techno-fascist "Patchwork." Because if the federal .gov is bad enough, liberals will plead for more state-based power, which cracks up more easily into segmented corporate fiefdoms.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sadly, this nice little game has a broken interface that sometimes bugs out and breaks the game (which you can't "resume" playing). If you click on the board by accident after you've selected the piece, the board zooms out and you can't place your piece...and that's the end of the game mid-way thorough. Developers are non-responsive on Steam, and players that claim to have submitted tickets on the company's website haven't received responses over half a year later. I'm actually going to have…

In the short time that I played it looks pretty stable and runs fine. The game supports asyncronous play and is well integrated with steam for that. You can make your moves in your games sessions and close the client. Then you will get a steam notification when it's your turn again. (-) Some inconvenience: you cannot login with your Google Play account nor…

He also said it seems a waste for a bed blanket, but … I think it’s worth it! #FinishOrFrogAlong #quilting #patchwork #sewing

positive · AI labelView post →Local play is great, but online multiplayer just does not work (as of May 9, 2020). The game can't login through Steam (keeps giving network errors) and your friends are never shown.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE this Game! I've played the board game several times and was excited to try it on Steam... very cute and fun! I love that you can change the "theme" so that different patches show up for your quilt, such as cats, astronauts, dinosaurs, etc. Very easy to play. Graphics are beautiful and fun :-) I would definitely recommend this game.

positive · AI labelView post →I've been eyeing this board game in stores for a while, but the cost was a little too high for my poor wallet. So when I saw Patchwork on discount during the Steam sale, I jumped at the chance. And I'm glad I did! The game is super charming and cute, quick to learn but hard to master. As of this writing the online community is plenty active, making it easy for me to play several games in one evening. Now to convince my boyfriend to play it with me!

neutral · AI labelView post →Nah, PS3 was just like today. Just their arrogance bit them in the butt. PS3 was $599USD and was made fun of for that. They had no games and just expected devs to come to them. Like they did with PS2. They didn’t see Xbox as a threat… until they were. Difference was back then the 360 was competition. So Sony had to come back swinging. They dropped the price (by loosing PS2 backward compatibility and streamlining the hardware), they paid out the nose for exclusives, from both their first…

Unfortunately I lost, -15 to the AI 7. Can’t wait to playa again! #boardgames #soloboardgames #patchwork

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truth be told I'm awful at this game. I only play against the AI on Easy Peasy mode and I usually lose. But my quilt always looks nicer than the AI's at the end and I still enjoy myself immensely so maybe I'm actually great at this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is fun but the UI is so horrible. So many game breaking bugs...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The board game is fun but the implementation, at least on PC, stinks. This has been out for a while and it's not a complicated UI they should have it working perfectly at this point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get my ass kicked every time but it's the best 2 player only board game I've ever played, and now I can get my ass kicked online too!

negative · AI labelView post →I also played Patchwork again today. I left so many squares open, ended up losing the game lol. Should've tried covering more space 😂 #boardgames #patchwork
neutral · AI labelView post →This phone game port is buggy to the point of game-breaking in local play. You'd think drag and drop would be easy enough, but apparently not. You can't even back out to look at the pieces when you get a patch bonus. If you actually like Patchwork, do not buy this game. Not even on deep sale--don't feed shovelware trolls.
