GAME REVIEWS: CALICO
Casual Game Insider
|Spring 2021
Winner of CGI’s Best Casual Game of 2020 award, Calico is filled with adorable cats and versatility in its tile laying, giving it a combination of challenging gameplay and soothing delightful theme.
Each player has a quilt board on which they will be laying the hexagonal quilt tiles. Each tile is one of six different colors and has one of six different patterns. You start with three design goal tiles placed near the center of your board. These will score points if you make certain designs around them (such as three pairs or all different tiles) either based on tile color or pattern. If you make the design in both color and pattern, it’s worth extra points.
