New to Me - January 2023

New to Me #boardgames - January 2023 @gmtgames @StrongholdGames @eggertspiele @thematic_games @FlatoutGames @alderac @BGTables @atlasgames

It’s a brand new year and hopefully it will be better than last year. Though last year wasn’t too bad, compared to the two before. It’s January (or February, but we’re talking about January) and that means a new beginning where we’re not sure what all we’re going to play for the year. Last year I played 111 games. When January came around, I had no idea what games those would be! I do have…

While its quilting patterns and calm visuals very approachable, there is a surprising amount of complexity behind the board game Calico, brought out in terms of point gathering and piece optimization in what is ostensibly a competitive experience. However, two major design choices ensure that this complexity remains light and enjoyable; 1) the players all pull from the same bag of randomized quilting pieces to be placed on the board, and 2) there is no way to directly  influence the outcome of another player’s final score. Because of this, the game has an air of indirect competition, with frequent pauses encouraging conversation and time to think about the best approach in earnest.

October 2024 Gaming

October 2024 Gaming @FlatoutGames @alderac @PlanBGames_ @BGStatsApp

October was a really bad month. Not just for gaming, but in general as well. I was sick for a week and I’m still not feeling 100% even a week later after I went back to work. But for gaming, it really sucked! There were some good things about it, but I missed three Sunday game days. The first one, the venue was full due to other reservations (some kind of marathon, the ingrates!). Then,…

Quilts and Cats of Calico Nintendo Indie World Showcase Trailer

Monster Couch Games and Flatout Games’ Quilts and Cats of Calico, based on the board game Calico, has you making colorful quilts for kitties. The game can also be played with in local and online multiplayer mode. Online mode will also include weekly challenges and player rankings. Solo mode pits you against an AI of varying difficulties. The game also has a story campaign where you, a tailor travels the war-stricken world and sews quilts, meeting new friends and cats along the way while standing up to a ruthless corporation. Then again, maybe you just want to play with the kitties. No one would blame you for that.

Quilts and Cats of Calico releases for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in Fall 2023.
