Fake multiplayer. I do not recommend this game. This games online multiplayer option isn't multiplayer at all. It's single player were you compare scores at the end. We started a online game and you are both just playing single player quilts with ZERO interaction between players and no impact on each others quilts. The game forces you to take turns despite there being no interaction or impact on each others games. …

So this is why chill cats become lazy slow paws. Definitely snuggled with my cat while playing this to maximize the feline dopamine. Love that we are living in the golden era of cat games. Calico is exactly the kind of self-inflicted suffering I'm looking for when I play board games. My wife’s boyfriend says It’s like Cascadia for masochists. Quilts and Cats of Calico is a digital implementation of the physical …

This is a very well done digital adaption of Calico, the board game. Calico is one of my favorite brain burners. It looks deceptively easy, especially with its colorful presentation, but it's very challenging to maximize one's score in this creative puzzle game. Placing colors or patterns in the right order is easy. Arranging both colors and patterns matching the required design is already much harder. And doing so …

Let me start by saying I LOVE this game. I love the board game and its so nice to have an online version to play with when none of my friends want to play. This adaptation is adorable, the cat creator is cute, and its faithful to the board game. My biggest dislike is how online matchmaking is handled. I am fine with the fact that it places you with AI if you cant find a group to play with, but I find a group maybe …

This game is one of the few boardgame adaptations that are good and went beyond just the game. Highly recommendable if you are a fan of the game (boardgame).

neutral · AI labelView post →Quilts and Cats of Calico is a cozy adaptation of my favorite cat-themed tile placement board game,* but suffers from such strange story and art direction that I can't recommend it at full price. * Full disclosure: In my house, Calico is a salt-the-earth war game full of deception, negotiation, and sleight of hand. My secondary takeaway from Quilts is that we might be playing it wrong, but I prefer our version. Gameplay At its core, Calico is extremely simple: You have a board…

I've never played it in real-life, so I came into it without any preconceptions.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is completely unplayable for me. The constant pulsing of the tiles messes with my eyes, and if I don't stop playing I risk a migraine. There's no way to turn it off, or at least none that I could find. Disappointing

neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like the play style is a cozy mix of board game strategy and puzzle solving, where every tile I place actually matters. I’m not just matching colors and patterns, I’m also thinking ahead and trying to line up multiple goals at once. It’s turn based and really relaxing, but there’s always that layer of strategy as I balance patterns, go for buttons, and place tiles in ways that attract cats with different preferences. Each turn feels like a small decision puzzle because you can only work…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quilts and Cats of Calico is a relaxing and chill puzzle game with cute cats hanging out around the board you play on. There really isn't anything stressful about the game, and you can play at your own pace with story mode or just play against bots. The one gripe I have about the game is that the gameplay is a bit convoluted and sometimes relies on a little too much luck for an optimal score. Other than that, it is just a chill game that I'd recommend picking up if it goes on sale.

I won, but I am now utterly baffled, as apparently I didn't complete any goal tiles, but I think I did. So confused, as seemed be told they were completel. 🤔

I already own the board game it's based on, and it's a very enjoyable play both digitally and physically.

Every cat wants different patterns in different…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, it's good, I guess. ... but how a game as technically and mechanically simple as this still can have issues is beyond me... First, it's mostly beautiful and well done. The cats are absolutely adorable whether they sleep or play around. The cloth textiles, background graphics etc. look nice and welcoming. The music is fine. The colors, as bright as they are, aren't obnoxiously mismatched (as it was my main concern when I bought this); no, it actually looks quite nice. ... and then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Call this a slight no. The concept of the game is fine, and I enjoyed playing the story mode. I just don't see myself playing against the AI for hours on end like I do other board games. I love board games. I own dozens of them in real life, and I've clocked hundreds of hours in Wingspan. I've enjoyed playing Terraforming Mars and Sagrada recently, and they are both games where I've enjoyed playing casually against the computer. Quilts and Cats of Calico is similar to Sagrada (a dice…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't usually get a lot of board games on steam because I like to feel accomplished with some sort of ending. I also prefer having it on the tabletop. I immediately wanted the game when I saw there was a campaign mode, though! More board game type games on Steam should do the same thing! The campaign more was super fun. The plot isn't very deep, but I really enjoyed the character art. I also loved having the cats walk on the screen. I also managed to beat my husband in the game, which is…

neutral · AI labelView post →A slightly cautious recommend, depending on what type of gamer you are. A friend seeing me playing this on my profile looked it up and stated "hmmm that looks twee for you". And they were not wrong. After all, as the title says, it's about quilts and cats. But its a clever and good puzzle game, based on a board game I've since learned is very popular. It's about matching combinations of things, then trying to combo matches with other matches to maximise points, from a decreasing scrabble-like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quilts and Cats of Calico is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is an iPhone/Android version of a boardgame, and a fine example of how doing nothing but adding cats to your game will generate more sales. As a game this is basically a slightly dumbed down version of Settlers of Catan meets quilting and with a cats theme. I think that's probably grossly oversimplifying it, the game works…

The story felt reminiscent to the current artistic struggle that is felt by creatives recently in regards to the rise of GenAI -- I really enjoyed it because of that. It's also easy to see that the creators valued inclusion and representation of many minorities within the world of the game; another aspect worth…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one was a struggle for me. I love the board game Calico and play it often, but this digital adaptation wasn't for me. The ai bots were too easy, I was consistently beating them by 40+ points, there's no local couch co-op, the story mode is very tedious, and the art style is not my thing. While I would have loved a story mode with various challenges, these levels are completely seeded and you need to repeat the level to learn the exact placement for each tile to complete the objective,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this bundle and it has been really disappointing. The board games are good but the digital versions leave a lot to be desired... Lots of sync issues and UX trouble on Root. Quilts and Cats of Calico started in like 800x600 resolution and the first item in the main menu was a tutorial popup. Declined it to change my resolution and could not find a way to launch it again. Haven't tried the rest yet but given that most of them are made by Direwolf, I'm not that eager to.
