Lookout Patchwork - Brown

Super nice game, easy to play

Article reçu en parfait état. Boite 20 x 20 cm peu encombrante. Bonne qualité du matériel (carton épais), pions en bois et joli design général. Même si le "thème couture" pourrait sembler rebutant pour certains, on l'oublie très vite. La règle est très bien faite, simple à comprendre. Ce jeu basé sur le principe du Tétris permet de faire de bonnes stratégies et de bons calculs. C'est très fun, ingénieux et assez addictif. Un excellent jeu pour deux.

love this game with my partner, we don't play too much, it's not the most competitive one, even if we need to try to steal some opportunities from the other with the tiles.. it's more a solo puzzle game to play against the other. but still it's nice, cute, interesting. once in a while we are happy to grab this box and have a go. easy to play and set up ! love it

Uns macht es sehr viel Spaß. Es ist kurzweilig und wir tüfteln immer wieder an einer geeigneten Strategie. Überraschenderweise benötigt man zumindest am Anfang des Spiels doch recht viel Platz auf dem Tisch für die Patchwork-Teile. Zum nebenbei unterwegs mal schnell zocken daher eher weniger geeignet, obwohl die handliche Verpackung anderes vermuten lässt. Aber zur Not findet man wahrscheinlich auch dafür Lösungen ;-)

This is really a fun game and one of our favourites. Value for money is there. The quality of the product is very good.

~ Rainy/snowy/too hot weekend? Got the stew stewing or pie baking? Not all friends could come over? Got about 20 minutes to kill? Well, this is the perfect game for you to play with your friend/roommate/partner/husband/child/anyone you've got there! But please note that you can only play this with one friend; not the whole squad - for this is strictly a 2-player game! ~ What's all the stuff here? Well, you've got a lot of blue buttons, 33 patches, two quilt boards (lime green and yellow) and two time tokens of the same colors corresponding to these quilt boards, One Time board (the one with the spiral steps), One Neutral Token (the one that looks like Chess coin), Five 1x1 patches (the tiny leather patches), One 7x7 button tile (special tile). ~ Rules: 1. Each player picks one quilt board and the time token of the color corresponding to the color of their quilt board. Sit opposite to each other. 2. Place the time board at the center. Both the time tokens have to be placed at the beginning of the spiral in the time board (As the game progresses, you literally spiral your way through time!). Place the 1x1 patches at the corresponding blanks on the time board. Arrange all the 33 patches randomly around the time board. 3. Locate the smallest of the 33 patches. You'll find a tiny 2x2 rectangular patch. The Neural token (the grey chess like coin) has to be placed between this patch and it's immediate patch in the clockwise direction (refer to picture attached). The game proceeds in the clockwise direction from the neutral token. 4. Each player gets 5 buttons to begin with. 5. The player who last picked a needle must start the game. If neither of you have done that, just toss for it! 6. During your turn, you have two choices: Choice A: Buy a patch of your choice by paying the number of buttons indicated on that patch. You are eligible to buy any of the first three patches that are immediately adjacent to the neutral token in the clockwise direction. When you do pick a patch, move the neutral token to the now empty spot created by you taking this patch. Now you can use this patch to create a quilt on your quilt board. Use the patch wisely! Next, move your time token as per the number of steps indicated by the hourglass on that patch that you've just used. As long as your time token is further behind or on top of your opponent's time token, it is still your turn! Yes. This game does not necessarily alternate turns. Choice B: You decide to rest. Here you just pass over your opponent's time token; exactly to the next space. Not one step more or less. You'll receive one button for each of the spaces that you've crossed. Now that your time token is in front of your opponent's, your turn is over! 7. When your time token spirals it's way through the time board, You might happen to pass through some special places. When you cross a button checkpoint, count the number of buttons on the quilt that you've created on your work board (this doesn't include the buttons that you spent buying the patches but rather the huge buttons on the patches). You receive these many buttons from the reserve. Also, in case you are the first player to land onto or pass over a 1x1 patch, you get that patch. These patches go to the first player to land on or pass over them and MUST BE USED IMMEDIATELY. 8. The first player to build a complete 7x7 quilt (without any empty spaces) on their work board gets the special 7x7 tile. This corresponds to 7 buttons. (PS. The work board itself is 9x9) 9. So that's it. When both the time tokens reach the center of the time board, the game ends. 10. Point calculation: Add all the buttons that you have left. From this subtract the number of empty spaces on your work board multiplied by 2. ~ So that's pretty much it. You can refer to the pictures that I've attached to get more of an idea. ~ You'll definitely get familiar with the rules when you play a game or two. The rules are very simple. And the game is fun! ~ Also, I've noticed that this game does not involve much fighting or cheating. Just a fun and friendly game that helps you while away a max of 30 mins .
